Made with a lens I couldn't get $40 for on Ebay.

I bought a late, chrome 302mm Wollensak Enlarging Raptar from Eddie and robbed the aperture blades out of it for my 12" Velostigmat in barrel. Too nice to throw away. What do you do with it. Seems like some sumptuous portraits could be made with such a lens.

What'ya got? Post 'em here. Cheaper than Weston's $5 RR if you factor in inflation.
