These are lovely Don. Did I sell that old lens to you? ;~')) Had one once. Can't remember where it ended up.

I like all three of these very much; good work, Don.

Good stuff. Particularly the horn.

No I bought this one off the Bay. It was in near new condition with the original flange. It produces beautiful images and is my favorite lens on half plate and smaller.

Thanks Garrett. I never wound up contacting you but I'm still on track to retire to Southern AZ this year. I'll either be in Bisbee or the Tubac area and look forward to meeting you. Perhaps even getting together for a collodion journey.
