I have a couple of old petzval projection lenses that I use only one of the glass elements on and get very different/desireable results. With the attached images, they were both shot with a normal lens, but there were a couple of focal plane problems with each. I used one of these projection petzval lenses on the enlarger to produce a similar, but a little different look to the final print.
