Jim, Thanks for the test on the Kodak Portrait lens . It's all time favorite lens . Jim F, you should keep the lens.
Yes, it will get the CLA and then I'll keep it. Thanks again Jim
Jim,
Very nice pictures of a pretty car! Everything is full of Galli signature.
Thanks for posting them.

Jim,
Thanks for these photos which bring back so many good memories. My first car in 1948 was a 1929 "A" dark green with yellow pinstripes, red leather seats, white sidewalls. Making the images with the portrait lens and its dreamy quality just make me reminisce more.
Jim
Old cars and soft focus sure go well together.

mmmmmmmmm... Tasty!
And I'm impressed that the Mirroscope doesn't embarrass itself alongside the big Kodak Portrait Lens. It's lucky to be in the right hands!

Jim,
As always I enjoy seeing your work and hearing about the equipment you use.
Good job.

Thanks guys. For those who are saving madly for a Pinkham & Smith lens and are curious what a mirroscope lens might look like;
Turned out the lens fit snugly into a 3" ABS waste pipe coupling that was available in the back yard. I added a few drops of super glue to keep it where I put it. Then the lens board and masking tape finished the job. Not bad for $22 bucks eh?
Now if I'd wanted to get fancy, a 3" male adapter would have not only provided a shelf for the lens to land on, the threads will start into a Cooke flange that fits the WWII era 14" aviar. But this works fine, and gives a bit longer "shade".
A good day, indeed!
