    Pretty damned good costuming and set props there, Bruce. Can't find a thing to tip me off that this is a re-enactment ('course I'm no historian).

    Couple of shots from a Dallmeyer 5 1/2" projection petzval. picture of the lens, friction mounted into an oversized hole



    Crop of the one pictured further down:


    I really should be composing with cropping in mind for these non close-up shots, but I'm just getting the hang of this lens. Would work very well with my 6x7 rollfilm holder as well.

    That leaf shot is terrific. It gives me vertigo.
    I like the uncropped picture of the photographer better than the cropped version.

    That's great, Jim. Just goes to show that you don't have to use these things just for the ridiculous aberrations

    I also like BarryS's structure. Cool.
