Of course, Emil! Source of the word Art.
Sorry about my frivolous contribution. I've had the giggles for days! I would personally prefer to a large ars than a small ars.
Sven, could you post a picture of the Ars? The description in VM and your own comments make it sound like a very interesting mechanical design?
Hi
Wish I had more time to shoot at the moment and could post some results as well, so for now you'll have to make do with pics of the thing itself.
Regards
Sven
Many thanks. Now I know what to look out for!
Old thread, but thought I would post a couple of images taken with my 9 inch Spencer Port-land lens and developed earlier this month in Ilfolsol 3 1+14. I apologize for the dusty scan, images from separate TMAX negatives, but my "victim" (she doesn't like me to take her picture) made the same expression....I like the diffused look.
In this period of no cameraeccentric reference data, I can link to an old advert from James Sinclair who was the UK importer of the Spencer Portland. He added his engraving on the reverse side of the barrel.

He made a nasty error in the smaller ones (6" and 9") as they are faster at F4.5!
Is the Spencer Port-Land soft focus lens different from Kodak Portrait soft focus lens?
