Really sweet !!!
Daniel, what kind of lens is this ?
Do you picture hand-held ?
Best,
Miguel
PS here is one from youngest granchild (speed+Gottingam)

Miguel, it's some sort of projector lens that I got from Jim, I believe he said it was based off of a Petzval design. No, I didn't do this one hand held, I plopped the camera on some legs. The range finder focusing doesn't link up with this lens (though I might be able to adjust that?). Very cute shot of your granchild

Thanks Ed and Jan. I am happy that you enjoyed the image.

Great shot! What is the focal length of the lens? I've got to try out speed graphic one of these days! Oh, you can get info on adjusting the rangefinder on graflex.org

betax 300mm 4.5 testshots,
arranged an afternoon full of people,
4 filmholders and the iron will to
master this lens/camera combination,

I love and hate 8*10,
it its good, its exceptional,
if you make a mistake you're doomed,
no free lunch here, and group portraits
are fun to focus

regards
