Photographed using a Canon EOS20D digital camera with an M42 lens via an adapter. You can't programme this camera with details of the focal length etc of a manual lens you're using and sloppily I didn't make a note at the time. I'm pretty confident it was the Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 Tessar. I keep that lens despite now not owning a digital SLR camera which suits it (Nikon SLRs, good as they are, do not happily accommodate the old M42 lenses, and why would you use one if you have an equivalent Nikkor available anyway). I quite fancy trying the Tessar on a secondhand Pentax digital SLR sometime when my resolve to stop spending money on cameras weakens.

Photographed with a Nikon D50 and a 50mm f/1.4 AF-D Nikkor lens.

I know that transferring an old Praktica strap to a Canon SLR is a serious violation of photographic etiquette. I realise the Camera Cops will detain me for questioning if they find out. But it's just too good a strap not to attach to a camera you use more often. Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs and an AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.
