Galli Pics lost here. http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?27056-lt-warning-gt-Boring-BS-Soft-Focus-Pics-lt-warning-gt-Spencer-Portland-Achromatic-Meniscus!&p=255337&viewfull=1#post255337
and of course here, page way down http://www.antiquecameras.net/softfocuslenses2.html
The f stops are odd, is this some other system? It's marked f6, f8, f12, f16, f24. Any ideas about the stops?
And no the iris is not unscrewing for me. But I didn't try really hard.
I will be shooting it with same era glass plate later tonight.
