Shaft! Can ya dig it? Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. I used the high-speed crop mode where the crop factor is x2, so this was like having a 170mm lens. Speed:1/50th; ISO: 200; aperture: f/4.

Photographed with a Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. The lens dates from c1971; the camera from c2006. I aim not to exceed 400 ISO with the D2Xs because its performance is stellar between 100 and 400 ISO; less so beyond. Here it was at 450 ISO. That's accounted for by my need for a fast shutter speed given that the 85mm lens is behaving like a 120mm on this crop sensor camera. And the light being limited, the aperture was close to wide open.

"When you eventually discard your intentions I shall leave you for other gardens." Henry Graham (born 1 December 1930 in Liverpool) is a British poet. Educated at the Liverpool College of Art in the early 1950s, he was part of the Liverpool poetry scene in the 1960s. The lines above are the end of 'A Bridge a Crossing' which was included as the first poem in the Corgi books anthology of 1967 'Love, Love, Love: The New Love Poetry'. (There is a lot of love in it, but potential purchasers were a bit slow-witted back then and needed clear and repetitive messages. Thank goodness we are so much more sophisticated nowadays.) Nikon D700 + Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 SP LD lens. I like this lens. It is pro quality, with good optical performance and a sturdy construction. I particularly like it because it cost me only £165 (this is very good value for a lens of this type and this good, despite its age: it dates from circa 1992). But what I do not like so well is that it weighs 3lb (1,340g).
