Nice work Mel!
A long time ago I picked up a 105mm Tominon to try LF macros and then then never did anything with it. I'll have to dig it out and give it a try. I recall it was a neat little lens.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Shen Hao PTB 4x5, Tominon 105mm f/4.5, Delta 100, slight crop.

Inspired by Mel Ladewig's wonderful work, I dug out my 105mm Tominon. It's a little gem of a lens. That was fun.

Graflex RB Super D 3x4 converted to a 4x5 back, Kodak E100VS, unknown lens (I believe it to be a Petzval from what I recall of the purchase, but others who certainly know better believe it to be otherwise or have reversed rear elements; all I know with certainty is that it is old and unmarked with anything to assist identification, too short to focus the camera to infinity so less than 6" f.l., and fun) exposed assuming an aperture of f/6 (no iris, of course). The innocent victim is a Hosta from the backyard and thus could not escape my molestation.
