Voigtlander Euroscop Hybrid 16" lens images

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Some of you have asked to see some images from this $60.00 Hybrid lens that I put together. I shot some images at F-32, F-64 and F-16, and F-64 in that order. This lens has a lot of character. I printed these on some 1976 Azo in Ansco 130. Let me know what you think of my cheap lens. Still need to do some portraits with this lens.

Wow...I love it. I'd like to see portraits.

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Thanks, Stephanie. I just need to find some young attractive female victims, I mean models.

Promising - good work. Portraits should look nice too.

Wow Jim,
Great images, great look, great site, there is more to your pictures than just the lens; fine work you have done here.
Best,

Thanks, everyone. I love the fact that I can use this lens on both the 8x10 and 11x14. It has a very nice look to it. I will post some portraits when I can.

Lovely work! I suspect that as you become more and more familiar with the lens, you'll draw more and more out of it. As LJS insightfully said, there's more to the work than just the lens, but that hybrid Euryscop has a wonderful look that I think is an influence. And there has to be some satisfaction in putting together and working with a one-of-a-kind lens...

It's exciting to think of a finished portfolio from it!

it's that last image, of the path through the trees, that does it for me. just something about the combination of lens and subject. nice!

[Brian Bullen]

Jim, these have a wonderful feel to them, very nice indeed. Thanks for posting.

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Thanks again everyone. I do love this lens. I'm making a set of waterhouse stops out of brass for it. I'm keeping the cardboard ones just in case.

Matt, this spot is up Highway 33 just past the Wheeler Gorge campground on the right side as you go up 33.
