Nice ! Can't wait to get my hand on a 6x17 .
Looking good !!!
The 9s and 12s are more common . Still almost impossible to come by . I have seen a 15" and one 18 " but the the 21" .... This is like a myth !
I'll take a dozen please !
By the way , has any living soul here in the forum ever seen a 21" Struss ???
I won't put any lens over $150,00 in one of these , 6 pieces glued on , no tongue and groove joints . Some go for $22,0 which is fair but now some are being sold for $99,00 and up to $199,00 !!!
No . I'm referring to the ones that even my 8 year old can make . I'm not against capitalism ! I'm all for it ! I'm against the exploitation and false claim of authenticity .

Recently I've noticed an increased number of " fake new old stock " lens boards on E*y . I understand someone making cheap "4 or 6 pieces glued " lens boards for a living but to sell and pass them as...
What two Struss Jim ? Don't tell me they came up for auction and I missed them ?

I don't know ! I just have the felling that the 2 year olds playing with iPhones and tablets will get bored eventually and feel the need to do things the hard way . I think that's the reason many big...
A Struss pictorial lens is a gem ! Hard to find ! No one wants to sell .
If the Lord allow me to live that long I'll be 90 . I admire Karl Struss work as a cinematographer and as a photographer . I also love his lens and the fact he was the first to indroduce a soft focus...
You are kidding right ??? LoL
Lol You are kidding right ?
I'll start with : What will the population of Earth will be and how many of them will be searching and how much they will be willing to pay for a Struss ?
Do you have a digital canon camera ? If so , just set you camera to manual and the flash as well . Take a few shots with the flash at full power until you find the right exposure . Although leaf...
It won't be long before the prices drop on those cameras and off course many of us will be shooting videos for pictures . It just make sense , facilitate the capture of "the right moment " and it is...
Well , it's happening . 36mp photographs from 8k video and 12k is in the works .

This is why this forum is so precious ! Everyone's experience is priceless. One can spend days and hours going through checks , touch ups , cursing and not even come close to finding the problem...
Wow ! Congratulations ! You've just designed one of the most beautiful field cameras ever ! Now you can start mass production . I'd love to have one . I'm in love with this camera !
It's confirmed . The lens covers 12x20 wide open . No room for movements . Anyone shooting landscapes will be pleased with this lens . I knew Ansel used on 7x17 but to find out it covered 12x20 was a...
Has anybody measure the full image circle on the full combination on the Cooke Series XV ? Just for the sake of it i snapped one of mine on the 12x20 and i was stunned that it illuminated the whole...
Some shots , the last one is the lens reassembled :
Success Steve ! Based on your information i was able to completely disassemble the lens down to the aperture blades . I tightened the two screws and the lens is ready for another 60 or 70 years of...
Thank's Steve ! Mine is a series VI but i believe your information to valuable . I will examine mine to see if the outside tube comes off like yours. Thank's for taking the time to help .
Thank's Steve ! I have the loctite ready ! I just need to figure out how to remove that inner barrel to access the knuckler screws .
Great post by Eddy Gunks ! Perhaps one of you can direct me on how to remove the inner tube so i can get access to the knucklers screws .They need tightening . Based on Eddy's video i was able to...
The solo purpouse of the soft focus device is to add sofness . The sharp part of the image should remain unaltered . If more softness is added to the image because the lens was used wide open , that...
The only difference as you mentined is the maximum opening size . As for the image itself , if you are shooting outside it means blurred background , but that is not going to happen because you will...
You are right Tang ! But people who spend the money on prime portrait lenses have back them up with an adequate studio otherwise the lenses will be useless or just collectors item .
I'm late to the thread but here are my two cents : His early soft focus work was done with a 18" Verito . In the early 30's he switched that lens to the 16" Goerz Celor ( I think his best work was...
No kidding !!! This camera is worthy of a prize ! What a pleasure to look at that shutter ! That's how you stand out from the crowd specially in the digital era . This is the brainchild of Dennis...
I got involved with Instagram recently . It's no place for large format stuff .There's no point in shooting 8x10 or larger and reducing it to a 2"x2" image .If you want to show your skills with a...
Bom trabalho camarada !!! Quero ver a camera pronta !
Somehow i like the verito better . I assume you shot these in a different times of the day .Now we just need one of the broken glass with your 12" struss for dessert !
I wonder how many steaks i could eat with all those onions !:rolleyes: Very nice composition . My eyes run all over over the picture and always land in the same place .(Leading lines ).My eyes ...
Very nice Jim ! Love the Bokeh ! Were you using a reducing back or did your full plate took this lens like champ ?
