The 'ROYAL MAIL' legend first appeared on letter boxes in the early 1990s; prior to this letter boxes had the words 'POST OFFICE' cast onto them. The change was prompted by the separation of Post Office Counters Limited and Royal Mail as independent companies. Nikon D50 and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

Street scene near Paxton & Whitfield cheesemonger's in Bath. This is their old shop in John Street. In 2024 they moved to Green Street. All that cheese going across town must have left a few pungent notes behind as it travelled. Nikon D50 and Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens. This kit was cheap bought secondhand, light to carry, versatile for street photography and caused little worry on the might-get-nicked front.

Two people walking in step photographed through the classical porch added incongruously to the front of the Georgian building in Corsham housing the Methuen Arms hotel. I used a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 20D. This lens is a Tessar design of just four elements and was a lower cost option to a Pentacon equivalent on a Praktica camera in the 1970s. It was slower of course; f/2.8 compared to the Pentacon's f/1.8. Yet in good light the Carl Zeiss was every bit as good, better maybe. Certainly a sharp lens, and capable of closer focussing than many other standard lenses. I bought mine second hand for £12. I doubt if a lens in good working order and engraved with 'Carl Zeiss' could be found cheaper.
