Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticides in crop protection. Because they affect the central nervous system of insects, neonicotinoids kill a wide variety of both target and non-target insects. Neonicotinoids contaminate wetlands, streams, and rivers, and due to their widespread use, pollinating insects are chronically exposed to them. Neonicotinoids are very bad news for bees, and because our food supply depends on the work bees do, they are very bad news for us too. Fuji X-E1 and Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 lens.

I bought an old Chinon CX camera from a seller on eBay. I didn't want the camera, I wanted the fast 55mm lens on it. In 1976, when this Chinon model was being sold for around £70, you could pay an extra tenner for a slightly faster lens (f/1.4 instead of f/1.7). Normally that's not a difference worth paying a premium for, but in this case the f/1.4 was almost certainly manufactured for Chinon by the Tomioka company. All these years later the lens is a bit compromised by dust and opacity inside the optics, yet is capable of turning in a decent performance.

Canon EOS 40D + Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens. Very heavily cropped, and therefore not the sort of photograph that would stand up to printing.
