Playing with Meniscus Lenses

I like the way the "foreground" kind of frames this motive...

For the record, there is already a "meniscus" lens thread. Perhaps the two could be combined?

Sorry. Still peaking on morning coffee.

I did look for that and couldn't find it before I posted. Oh well. I agree that the two threads should be combined.

Here are two images taken with the front half only of an old projection Petzval lens, so I guess in a sense you can say they were taken with a meniscus lens.

Very interesting. I have 1/2 of a big Petzval and I have been staring at it too long. I need to mount it up and try this.

Well, to be fair, the other thread does not have the word 'meniscus' in the title. I had to dig deep to find it myself.

I hacked up a Kodak folder with a Kodar 122mm f/7.8 meniscus behind the shutter lens.

Everyone said it wouldn't work, not only did it work, the quality was really great.
