Hemlock Water-Dropwort at Tytherton Kellaways

Hemlock Water-Dropwort at Tytherton Kellaways
Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs fitted with a Nikon TC-16A teleconverter and a 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E lens. With the teleconverter, the lens becomes a 120-240mm f/5.6. On the cropped sensor, the field of view is therefore 180-360mm - not bad for a dinky lightweight lens taking a 52mm filter.
The Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 lens is generally accepted to have been the best of the Series E range; in 'The Nikon Compendium Handbook of the Nikon System' by Rudolf Hillebrand and Hans-Joachim Hauschild, it is remarked, 'The image quality of this NIC-coated lens is so good that it would have fitted perfectly into the Nikkor programme.'
This lens was available only from 1979 to 1983, being discontinued because the market was demanding zoom lenses with greater reach.

Hemlock Water-Dropwort is a common tall robust plant of ditches, streamsides and river banks, and is highly poisonous.
