Testing out the "swirliness" of a 6.5" f/2.8 B&L Cinephor projection lens. Shot on 4x5 Tri-X that expired in 1994. Souped in HC-110 dil. H.
I love these little projection Petzvals (B&L, Kollmorgen, etc.) They're sleeper Petzvals because they aren't shiny brass and weren't made in the 19th century. This one cost me $15; I recently picked up a 9" version for $11.

Some pics from derogy no4.
This turned out a little too busy. It looked better on the ground glass. I think I need more distance or separation between foreground and background with this lens.

So far all of my B&L projection Cinephors/Petzvals are friction mounted on cardboard and secured with gaffer's tape. These are supposed to be "temporary" test mounts but they work, so.....

I really like the look of these, Leigh. Quite gentle. Classic Petzval in a way, but still new and fresh. The combination of the center focus and the dappled light on the John Deere is particularly nice.
