Hi Glenn & Brian

sadly not mine - I think it's for sale - someone sent me the link wondering if I wanted it before I ended up with a Gandolfi.

This one's the one I use:

It has double extension (unlike the Thornton Pickard which has triple extension!). I don't know much about the lens with the Thornton though...

Cheers,

Rob

Rob, your Ross lens looks like mine from that angle :)

Ross Xpres 8 1/2 inch - as close to a portrait lens as I dare......

The glass is smooth and clean. The Taylor Hobson Series III is definitely a better match.
