Oh, I do like that!

I'd ask which lens, but any answer would involve words...

I like it. I can't get anything this nice from my 250 or 300 Imagons.

Which (if any) disc?

The always lovely Avril in the studio. The background is actually a printed backdrop, illuminated with a Fresnel spotlight and about five feet behind the subject. The key light is a Lowel totalight through a translucent umbrella. With this much skin showing, it was not easy to find just the right amount of "reveal" and it took close to an hour of moving the model this way and that before I clicked the shutter. Taken with a Zone VI view camera with 180mm Fujinon soft focus lens, set at f/8 (wide open with the yellow disk). Tmax 100 sheet film developed in Tmax developer, normal development.
