Images Shot On Projection Lens Thread

[Tin Can]

Nice image!

I was wondering from the other post, which lens you used.

What format? It's the topic of the day.

4x5 tintype using UVP-X collodion and lit with strobe.

ETA: Now that my communist lenses have arrived, I'm almost geared up to shoot 5x7 and 8x10 plates as well. The 5x7 plates I just need a wet plate holder in that size but for 8x10 I need both a silver bath tank and a holder.

Rollei Heidosmat 150mm f/2.8

nice one. Heidosmat is nice alternative to Buhl and Hektor lenses.

I modified national graflex camera (6x6 format) to use larger cine and projection lenses, with built-in m65 helicoid . There are crapload of lenses to be used. I already have a pentacon six for 6x6 format but this national graflex camera has shorter flange registration, so...

Elgeet 111mm f/1.5 . Basically a fast Aero Ektar version on medium format





T-kiptagon 120mm f2



Baltar 152mm f/2.7

Thanks for the compliment.

I've got a "new" Buhl 10" f/2.7 big barrel lens I'm working on mounting right now that I think I'm going to be disappointed with. A quick look at it on the ground glass with it shoved in a piece of wood showed immense softness at the edges even on 5x7. I imagine it'll look even worse in an actual shot than it does on the ground glass. After that, I've got a Russian triplet 365mm f/3.65 that I need to get mounted and take a look at. I'm hoping it'll cover 8x10.

I am not familiar with the Buhl 10'' f/2.7 version. I do know the 10'' f/2.8 and 10'' f/2.9 version are sharp (should be four elements). Is yours 4-element or triplet? Buhl did have two versions: 4-element hektor schematic and triplet. Also you should check to make sure if the elements are in the right place. It would help if you post some pictures, and looking forward to your sample pictures as well.

I'll try to snap a picture of the lens later tonight. The 10" f.2.7 is not a red aluminum lens for the Ektagraphic line of projectors. It's a giant dark gray-green 4" diameter cylinder the whole length of the thing. I have no idea how to tell how many elements are in it. Given how much larger it is than the red Buhl 229mm f/2.5 that I had briefly (returned to seller, internal elements rattled), it clearly was intended to project a much larger transparency.

Another with the Rollei Heidsomat 150mm f/2.8. I may have posted this in the collodion thread before.

Very nice. There are other people that like Heidosmat as well.

I recently bought this one. Fluro Ektar 52mm f/1.5 . 7-element
