Hi all
I recently picked up a bunch of lens, a mixture of named and unamed Aplanats etc. amongst them are some that appear to be two single meniscus elements mounted about a central stop i.e periskop. They are unamed, reflections match my vademecum set and on the groundglass they are rather funky with chromatic abberations like red edges to the out of focus highlights and some soft glow as well. There is one around 210 f7(waterhouse) and a 270 ish f8 (iris dia) narrow coverage not covering 10x8 at infinity. So in use do I have to adjust for chemical focus? Do I have to use ortho/blue sensitive film? I intend to utilize them for still life/studio. Also finally picked up a Adjustable landscape lens by A Darlot/pulligny which is bit more complex in use. I don't have alot of time at the moument but want to explore the my funky side in the studio.
Thanks
Sven
