Ok here is another 4x5 I did with the same lense. There wasn't as much light on this photo so i did a 30 minute exposure and it came out pretty good I think.
And I love how the diferent soft focus lenses work for right now this is all I have but I will soon get different lenses and try them!
Ok I just sepia toned it and I was wondering which one looked better?
Ok sorry I did not rotate them so they are 90 degrees counter clockwise!

The posts with no-name lenses really got me interested, so I decided to give it a try. Fresh from a walk this morning (it was freezing cold here in Germany).
The lens is a no-name brass projection lens which I got off Ebay for 10 Euros. I cut it in two halves and mounted it with tape in a Copal-3 shutter. Linhof Technika 4x5 camera, TMAX 400 exposed at 200, developed N-1 in XTOL. Aperture was fully open, I guess f-stop is around 2.8 or 4.
I will check how the lens works for portraits as well.

woah, that one is strange! It swirls, then towards the edges goes back to normal again. Interesting!
