Websites containing color images taken with antique lenses?

[desertrat]

I've found a couple of sites with images taken using classic MF cameras with uncoated lenses. I've become interested further with this. Are there any websites with color images taken using Petzvals, Rapid Rectilinears, Meniscus Landscape Lenses, Protars, etc?

I'm guessing some people have done this. Color sheet film in 4x5 is still readily available, and any vintage lens designed for half plate size or similar should work with 4x5. I'm just curious to see what the results are.

You can check out the Petzval group flickr stream (http://www.flickr.com/groups/868027@N25/pool/). The majority of images are b&w, but there's a good sampling of color images.

Continuing on the MF sites you have found, here is a thread, “Show your photos from a vintage folder”, on the Rangefinder Forum. There are 311 posts at this writing, some B&W, some color, some just comments. Most are uncoated lenses, but either would qualify for this thread. A rough guide would be if the camera was pre or post WWII. Pre would be uncoated, post probably would be single coated.
