Even though it is not (gasp!!!) large format, I purchased last week a TLR from the fifties just because all it had was a meniscus lens. I have film in it right now and plan on taking it on my afternoon walk tomorrow. Today we had torrential rain and lighting, so it was more of a 35mm day.
Waterbury Scoville lens at largest aperture f/15 "bi-convex crown glass cemented to another plank-convex flint glass lens" Either "B for 5x8" or "BB for 6 1/3 x 8 1/3". Fortunately a Polaroid self cocking Copal shutter slips over the front of lens
