There are so many, but a perennial favourite is Ansel Adams.

I have a penchant for war photography, so I'd have to say Don McCullen. Asides from him, I know very few photgraphers' names.

Now 61 years old, retired photographer Martin Elliott from Birmingham is the guy who did it. He photographed his then-girlfriend Fiona Butler using a Nikon F and 135mm Nikkor.

So now you even have her name, plus the knowledge that the only Nikkors were on the front of the camera.
