Front stairs of the old London (Ontario) Normal School for Teachers. Taken with my "new" Ilex 90mm, F8. This lens is said to be a clone of the Super Angulon (looks it to me).

From the 12" IWSWGon, wide at f/5.6.
Someday I'll learn to do a decent scan...

Have you been studying for your PhD general exam Mark?
It looks good on my screen!
Just a home-assembled lens; I have three 12" IWSWGon's and one 17".
I wanted to give them a name, but couldn't think of what to call them. The one day I was looking at some other lenses, Paragon, Acugon, Astragon, Ultragon, Rodagon...
I decided to call mine the "I-Wish-She-Wasn't-Gon". Seemed to fit...

If you're desperate enough, you might be able to make fixer from onions. There is a significant amount of thiosulfate in onion juice (supposedly, enough to kill a dog if it eats a whole onion -- we have much more tolerance for thiosulfate than dogs do, apparently, because I eat a lot of onions and don't so much as get sick), but it's not in a directly usable form, so there'd be some effort in extracting it and removing the undesirable cations to give a reasonably pure thiosulfate in solution.
For the foreseeable future, though, it'll be simpler to buy hypo crystals from chemical suppliers, and probably cheaper as well (given the number of onions you'd need to get a pound of hypo). As long as folks swim in chlorinated pools, there'll be a market for industrial quantities of technical grade sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, rice crystals, because it's a very efficient sequestrant for excess chlorine in water -- and there'll always be someone around willing to buy up a rail car or container load of 100 lb bags of hypo crystals, repackage it in 5 to 25 lb plastic buckets, mark it up 300%, and ship it to you and me (and still beat the photographic suppliers by 50% or more on final cost). Since sodium sulfite is used for the same purpose as well as being a very widely used preservative (for both food and non-food items), it'll be around a while, too, and you only need hypo crystals and sulfite to make a perfectly fine fixer...
If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D
Yes I have posted this in a different thread, but it's wide open. Plus the other is too.
