Spent a couple of days working like mad with this new 2 me lens.
It's unusual because it's lightning fast at f2.4. When I got it, I opened up the box parked at the curb at the post office, and pulled out a lens that was full of sea water. It's like it was rescued from a flooded basement or something. GROSS!
So I took it home and dismantled it and gave it a heck of a bath in some dishwashing detergent, re-assembled, and other than a bunch of scuffs on the crown of the front lens which sticks out past the barrel housing, it cleaned up brilliantly.
Hope you'll enjoy a page of pictures made with it.
It's a 2fer. On friday I did a bunch of 4X5 images on regular FP4 film. Then laying in bed last evening, I surmised that the front group might make a brilliant soft focus meniscus, so I did a bunch of things up in the studio on 8X10 paper negs.
Have fun. As usual, I present the good, the bad, and the ugly.
