Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 35mm f/1.8. Unusual for a prime lens, this one has Vibration Compensation (VC) technology which provides up to three stops of of image stabilisation. Handy on practically any camera that it is compatible with, it is particularly valuable with the D2Xs where ISO beyond 400 can degrade images. The lens will also focus a good deal closer than its competition. The sewing tin was photographed with the camera at 200 ISO, f/2 and 1/100th.

Re-purposing an empty instant coffee tin. Nikon D40 + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23). I have no idea why this squalor which is endemic in my area should make me think of the comfort of the 23rd Psalm. Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. ISO 800; f/10; 1/320th; lens at 64mm (field of view equivalent 102mm).

Her Majesty the Queen likes these.

Photographed with a 55mm Micro-Nikkor f/3.5 AI lens on a Nikon D2Xs with a TC-16A teleconverter interposed. The TC-16A is compatible with only a small number of Nikon cameras. It was introduced during the 1980s when AF became popular and Nikon were a bit behind the pace. The TC-16A provided automatic focus on older AI lenses to reassure Nikon users and persuade them not to jump ship. In use it extends focal length and reduces lens speed. You never want the second, and you don't always welcome the first. I'm not convinced of its value on the 55mm Micro-Nikkor which at f/3.5 isn't exactly fast to begin with. Plus, automatic focus is hardly necessary for macro work and can even be an outright hindrance.
