You're Welcome. Thanks for responding.

Yes I agree, this test is the full APS-C frame. Next I will try a 6.5x9cm Plaubel Makina Back with black and white film, on the same Peco Junior View Camera.

I'm so glad I found this lens. It's...

We have a "Barred Owl". See here:

These don't hoot. Check out their distinctive noise they make. That's it for sure.

This reminds me of Irving Penn's work. Love the use of space, form, and color. Very Impactful.

In Linhof Advertising of the day Schneider Symmars were touted as being totally usuable wide open. Back then sheet Kodachrome and E3 Ektachrome were sloooow. Being able to use these lenses wide...

Hi dxp,

Nope I don't have any Broncolor P70 Barndoors to use to compare. Fifty Euros is a great find, I've not seen priced in that range.

Whoops, My Bad. Kumar is right of course, LS23 is Seiko #1, not #2....

I've purchased many WS 210mm F6.7 and WS 250mm F6.7 lenses, as well as a couple of 180mm WS lenses, all of which came in LS23 Seiko #2 shutters. BTW this is the same size shutter that's in RB67...

Yep Sure did. I was surprised by their offer of 99 Euros! Kind of a no-brainer. This will also work great on my Olde C171 Monolights.

Thanks dxp! I looked for another Pulso 2 pack for a while before settling on this one. BTW the cover lid being missing is a complete deal breaker for me. It's an important safety feature. When...

I never find it easy to focus a 150 Xenotar. It's tricky and somewhat easier with a reflex camera I have found. Sometimes I stack two 4X ND filters, to maintain the F2.8 aperture. If I want to...

You bet. Always enjoy your videos :) Hilarious and informative. Like the Monty Python music LOL

Even at F22 appears to me a teeny bit of falloff. Focused hyperfocally bigger circle excellent 8x10 focal length IMO. I like olde single coated lenses for B&W Have Fun!

Excellent results! Difficult to use, Yes. Worth it absolutely "jagged" bokeh I happen to like. Great job.

Peter,

You could use some spot fresnel strobes with that beautiful camera. Like in the books we've been talking about

I just bought up three from Germany. Much fun to play with
