Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Tamron AF Zoom 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD lens. You can buy these lenses very cheaply on the secondhand market. I paid £29. I had owned the Nikon VR equivalent, two copies in fact, and didn't really like it, although the results were good enough. Then I found that carrying a heavy pro lens when just enjoying an outing was a bit fatiguing, and so I bought this Tamron. It's compact and lightweight without the encumbrance of VR motors, and a fine performer at f/8 - f/11; decent even at wider apertures when not fully stretched. Its field-of-view is equivalent to an 80-300mm lens on a full-frame camera. Not bad for a lens you can carry around in your coat pocket.

In 1969 Burley aftershave - then an 'Old Spice' line - was advertised with the slogan, 'Burley won't make a man out of you - but it will make the man in you smell better.' A man called 'Nico1970' provides a helpful review of this scent on the internet - theshavingroom.co.uk/community/index.php?threads/old-spice-burley.34256 He remarks, 'This is full fat stuff; like Tabac OD'd on fags, booze and women. It is a hedonistic assault on the senses - it is simply unreal. Where Tabac is sweet, Burley has no such niceties to take the edge off the billiard room smoke. This is the real deal and no mistake - none of your 'watered down' coke zero here.' Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Nikkor 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D lens.

The title was inspired by the cards which once accompanied packets of tea. (Much of my paltry knowledge is the result of collecting these cards). There isn't actually a series of 50. Rather less, if we're being exact*, and fewer than 31 for sure. (* we are definitely not being exact). Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + AF Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens.

This label dates from the late 1960s when British Rail provided a service to collect your luggage ahead of your journey and deliver it to your house shortly after you had arrived. The service cost a little extra on your fare, yet it was cheap at the price. Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 G DX lens.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens. This is a severe crop resulting in a very small file, made smaller still as a result of conversion to black and white. The Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens is not bad. There is no image stabilisation, but that would have been no use here with people on the move, and its omission means a cheaper price and less tech to go wrong. Very good value on the used market.
