Vanessa Winship which lens?

I love her pictures from her series on School kids from Eastern Anatolia.

Im sure I read she uses an Ebony Camera but does anyone on here know which lens she used for these?

It looks like a 210mm to me, just guessing from experience and look of the photos.

They remind me of Penn's photos, that's a compliment.

They have an ethereal quality to it. I loved them.

I would agree with Frank and add that it doesn't look like a modern lens. Probably single coated from back in the day like a chrome Symmar. Just a guess.

Alex nice link. I'm not usually a fan of deadpan, just stand there portraits but she does have more of a quality to them.

Why not just email her and ask her? Her email address is there.

Interesting photos.

Thanks guys for your replies.
Richard I only saw her contact details after I posted here, I will get in touch with her later and report back.

Frank it will be interesting to see if it was indeed a 210mm.

I really like all the large format portraits on her website.

She recently won the Henri-Cartier Bresson Award which is valued at €30,000 to pursue a project which will be exhibited at the Fondation HCB in Paris.
A name to look out for in the future.
