Hello!

I think so! I'll shoot some close portraits with a better background to check that bokeh :-)

Thank you!

I think that I get focus at infinity at around 16 cm!!!! (from the rear of the lens to the film plane).

Hi Antonio,

The distance from the rear of the lens to the film is of no significance.
You may find that number on some specifications, but it's meaningless.

The focal length of any lens equals the distance from the rear nodal point to the film when focused at infinity. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to determine where that rear nodal point is.

The number we commonly use is the "flange focal distance", which is the distande from the lensboard to the film when focused at infinity. That's easily measured.

Nice pictures, great work.
Btw you don't need a new ground glass: just take it out and clean it with kitchen abrasive (like VIM) comes in powder and fluids: it will brighten it up again! - clean the frosted side!
