Fantastic detail in that one, David.

Thank you.

I had some fun today shooting a cheap lens. I recently bought a Rolleicord with a Triotar lens on it that renders really nicely. I thought it sure would be fun to have something similar in 4x5. A little bit of searching and I found a Rodenstock Trinar 13.5cm f/4.5 lens for all of $25, in working oddball shutter. I think it originally came on a 9x12 folder of some sort. So I popped it on a lensboard and tried it out.

At wider stops it really sucks but at medium stops it is nice and sharp and has that smooth rendering I wanted to see, especially in the backgrounds. Here is a landscape shot at about f/22 IIRC, taken on Fuji 160S:

David, pardon my ignorant question, but what is this an image of? I have no sense of scale - this could be huge or a macro! I love it for that very reason, but I'm curious.

Best,

Hello Chris - this is a gneiss rock formation on the Verzasca river, near Lavertezzo in Ticino, Switzerland. I guess the scale here is about 2 meters, from top to bottom. The rocks in this area are very beautiful, and seem to come across as very grainy in several of my photographs - this is full frame 4x5 - I guess it must be the metamorphic nature of the rock.
