Hey, Jim! I'll trade you five of these lenses for one Pinkham & Smith lens...
It does seem sometimes that there's a surprisingly fuzzy line between P&S lenses and PoS lenses...

Hat's off ... good stuff.
Mark,
The portraits are extraordinary!
Some of us lose sight of the goal and get lost in the vehicle choice to get there! You are a great travel guide for your class!
These kids will have a good lesson for their lives if you also show them the prices of rare lenses we lust after!
You have used a $1 piece of glass to add some extra to their lives:
extra + ordinary=extraordinary!
Good job and humbling!

Outstanding examples of what you can do with low-cost optics...
Kudos Mark!
Cheers
Life in the fast lane!
Truly beautiful images, Mark!

I did exactly the same thing for this test picture:
This one was about 300mm f3. An exposure of a couple of seconds on a paper 4x5 negative.
I must admit your portraits are a lot more exciting then my test image! But the lenses seem to perform equally interesting!
My high school was never so interesting as this. Can't wait to see your yearbook!
Great stuff, Mark. Could you possibly post a pic of the lens on a lensboard so I can get a better idea of just what you did? I'd love to experiment with homemade lenses but I'm rather non-mechanical and have a hard time picturing things like this.
Thanks!
