Feeling like I have this whole thread to myself. Go burn some film with your soft and experimental lenses. I'm marching to the beat of my own drum here...

And finally... Same place, same day, different scene.
N.B. See how much smoother this photo is than the previous? It's because it doesn't have a complex details / detailed background. That detailed background and grass with the biplane doesn't help the photo. Generally avoid complex backgrounds with soft focus. You are looking to portray soft and simple not high detail.
The SF lenses have a fatter depth of field than a sharp lens. The only thing I could do next time is move up to 8x10 to get a thinner DOF with the bi-plane. Going wide-open might make it too fuzzy. I get a thinner DOF with the car interior here because it's a closer photo and closer distances have thinner DOF, meaning it's much more guaranteed to be thrown out of focus. A normal 8.75" lens would not allow someone to get a whole car interior in focus like this at f5.6ish without serious movements I didn't use because my speed graphic doesn't have them.

Glad this thread has a life of it's own, even though I'm on semi-sabbatical. Maybe I'll get my 2 month old Oregon stuff processed tonight! Gorgeous stuff here. Love the '57 Ford. You knew I would! Honored to have my name associated with this thread.
