The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: garage

Thanks to the J&P Service Centre for letting me take some pictures of their operation. I just happened to be in the area and didn't really expect to be made welcome.

Fujifilm X-E1 with Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 lens.

Photographed using a lens made c1971 - a Nikkor-H 50mm f/2. It has been modified to AI standard so that it mounts safely on modern digital SLRs from Nikon, in this case an elderly D2Xs. 400 ISO; f/5.6; 1/180th.

And now for some photographs revealing what goes on in Limbo Hall. What you see here is the tightening-up, slacking-off, fixing-up, and expletives department HQ. Nikon D700 and Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI lens.

During the 1970s amateur photography was dominated by the 50mm lens, partly because that's what came with the new camera you bought, partly because a different or additional lens cost as much as a secondhand car, and mostly because it delivered satisfactory results. You can photograph most things with a 50mm and no 50mm is bad; there are only grades of excellence. This photograph was made with a Nikkor 50mm f/2 on a Nikon D700. It is a modest little thing of quite stupendous resolving ability.

This photograph was made using a Nikon D700 with the 50mm f/2 Nikkor AI. The lens is rather good.
