Thank you, Gentlemen!
Jim, your work is inspirational. I wouldn't be mucking about with these types of lenses if it weren't for you.

Re: post "in Galli style"
After years of 4x5 and 5x7, I'm new to 8x10 and this Wollensak Veritar 14" f/6 lens. First shots with it were in a dark room and weren't just soft, they were out of focus. I need to practice with more light available. This is the first successful shot: f/11 (still a good amount of softness), Intrepid 8x10 mkII, a bit of swing in the front standard, natural light, Bergger Pancro 400 in Pyrocat HD.

Lovely work, Peter! Really draws you in.
I wish my 240 Imagon and Velostigmat II covered 8x10, but at least 5x7 works.

Thank you, David! 5x7 is a terrific format. I wish I had a 5x7 back or my field camera. My 300 Imagon doesn't really cover 8x10. As you can see the corners go super soft, but sometimes that's ok.
Re: post "in Galli style"
Looks good, super soft, with this lens. Dark corners, not so ok which is what I get with the 240mm version of the Imagon on 8x10. I'm getting a 4x5 reducing back for the Intrepid 8x10, but 5x7 really is my favorite format for size, aspect ratio and hauling convenience.

What a lovely image, David! Focusing the SF lenses can be a real challenge.
