    as I see it, the effect of this lens is far less dramatic than what's achieved with an Aero-Ek, plus the significant weight gain too

    and btw, great work too

    I'm coming to that conclusion. I think this little Cinephor is starting to edge out my Aero Ektar as my favorite lens for 4x5.

    I'd like to hang this on my wall... and the two of the houses on each side

    I too have fallen out of love a little with the AE. Its lack of sharpness in pissing me off.

    What Dev do you use? And what's your technique, perhaps if you change your technique you can bring out more sharpness... I can give some suggestions if that's of interest.

    Oh, I get the average image when shooting wide open. It is just not the sharpest of lenses.

    The Petzval is significantly lighter, that is true. And thank you.

    Thanks, Ramiro. It's an interesting trade-off between the Aero Ektar and the Petzval. The AE has a flatter field of focus and very shallow DoF, but as you've noted it is slightly soft across the whole image area (when shot wide open). The Cinephor I use is f/2.8 so the DoF is nearly as shallow but it is wickedly sharp in the center with significant radial falloff in sharpness. I find the Petzval is great for isolating a subject and keeping the viewer's attention at the center of the frame, whereas the AE allows for isolation based solely on the narrow plane of focus. The Aero Ektar is really a soft focus lens wide open. Each has its place, but I find myself reaching for the Cinephor more and more these days.

    Thanks. I had a frustrating month of shooting nothing at all. Just wasn't in the mood and lacked motivation. But then this week I decided it was time to get back to it and things worked out. I wish I could remember that nearly every time I pick up a camera and go looking for photographs I find them. During periods of inactivity it is easy to feel that I'll never make a decent image again.

    I continue to enjoy your ongoing urban industrial series (if I can call it that). It is very distinctly your own. Between the color palette and the subject matter I could tell your shots from a mile away.

    Very nice one - I like the symmetry and the light pole being off centre. Like a UFO landing :-)
