wild n fast ~ the lens, not the car

A page of rubbish pics made today with a 5" f2.4!! theatre projection petzval on 4X5.

This lens is so fast the only possible way to shoot it is with a Speedy Graphic 4X5.

I also shot a cheap little 1914 - ish Rexo 165mm that I fiddled with to make it softer.

Please have a look - or not. I know, it's a shameless plug, but lots of folks seem to like these pages.

61 degrees would feel like naked weather up here.

Look like a fun batch of photos. I like the first one with the reflection in the paint. It's a little more abstract and has the strongest composition.

I never get tired of your photography, Jim. Would it be too much to ask to post a pic of the lenses themselves?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks all for the comments!

I've added pics of the lenses on the page I made at my site.

It's a Galli, Galli world through the Cinephoric looking glass...

Finally! A lens that see's as poorly as I do!

The first shot on your page is my fav. A careful, thoughtful composition, and just a tiny bit of background swirl that doesn't take away from the tree reflection. Nice.

Jim，

Love these funky pictures, the first one with trees reflected on the hood of the car is my favorite.

Thanks.
