That looks a whole lot more like Color EIR than Ekta 100VS....very interesting image!

It is early morning, the first rays of the sun through the haze.

Charlotte, NC is a beautiful city any time, but spring is special. The old cherry trees in Freedom Park are something extra. Even when not in bloom the trunks are very interesting. Both shots were made at the Main Entrance.

Camera – Kodak Full Plate (6 1/2x81/2) with an Ektar 12 inch F6.8 lens.
The first shows some of the pathways at F16. Number two I was a step or two closer and shot wide open at F16.

Same tree, different lenses.
First is a 150mm ƒ4.5 Petzval, second with the Aero Ektar at ƒ2.5
Both Efke100 in Rodinal

Ramiro,

Interesting lens comparison. I have an Aero Ektar and love it, but in this case I prefer the Petzval shot. Really sets the tree apart from the rest of the image, and the vignetting draws your attention to the center. Nice job.

Thanks Jonathan, I've see you work with the AE and really like it. I agree the Petzval version looks better. I did a few more with AE afterwards and now wish I had used the Petzval instead.
I did another comparison with the AE and a Heliar. The difference in sharpness is quite amazing (as one would expect.)

I had some shots I was experimenting with using Acufine but this one accidentally got developed with it. I used it 1:5 for 2 hours, with vigorous agitation for one minute and then 15 seconds every 30 minutes. Came out pretty well, a little overexposed. Might have to try this again. I used T-Max 100. The acuity with Acufine is ridiculous. Toned in PS. Nikkor 360mm @ f/32, 15s exposure:
