Stop valve and fire hydrant at East Tytherton, Wiltshire. There are two anonymous companion markers. I don't know their purpose, if they even have one. On a fire hydrant marker in the U.K., the figure at the top is the size of the main that feeds that hydrant in millimetres – so 75mm here. (Three inches in imperial measure). The lower figure is the distance from the plaque to where the hydrant is in metres. But in which direction? You have to look for the iron flap let into the highway. Nikon D2Xs and Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus Komine-made lens. Aperture-priority; 100 ISO; f/9.5; 1/40th sec.

The sign 'Tytherton Village Hall' is in a typeface little used these days. Indeed the whole building, nicely maintained and a valuable amenity for the village, must be at least 50 years old and probably considerably more. Whereas once it might have been considered ugly and utilitarian in its old charm surroundings, now it conveys a sense of period and it cannot be long before the producers of the 'Miss Marple' dramas arrive to use it as a backdrop for some ladies wearing hats and stout shoes alighting from a Bedford coach with their shopping baskets. Nikon D2Xs and a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus lens made by Komine.

Nikon D2Xs with a Komine-made Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 AI-S Close Focus lens. Some reviewers felt it wouldn't have been out of place to have badged it as a Series 1.

Photographed with a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus lens. Made in Japan around 1984 under contract by Komine, this lens has acquired something of a cult following. Its closest focus is under ten inches, which can be quite useful on occasions.
