    Igor (and all others),

    I really enjoy the look of those, and of the images on your web page. I assume that the grainy look is due to enlarging 35 mm, but the "sparkly" effect, for lack of a better word, is due to the meniscus lens? What sort of lens could a person use on 4x5 to get such a look? I know nothing about antique lenses.

    Thanks

    The Cascade Mountains near Seattle are getting pummeled with snow.

    Here’s a scene that will look familiar to H2oman.

    We listened to the whisper of several mini-avalanches way up there. (Yes, those are my footprints before I selected my tripod location.)

    Hi and thanks for your comments.
    As for meniscus - it is the simplest lens you can make. Well, pinhole is even simpler , but pinhole has no glass.
    Once you get adequate convex / concave lens you can use it with any format. I built mine 20 years ago from old Meyer 50mm lens
    ( leaving only front element ) and use it almost exclusively with 35mm film. I did try one for medium format, but did not like it.
    There is a lot of information about it, just google for Meniscus Lens Photography.
    Best wishes,

    On 4x5, if you have a speed graphic or shutter otherwise, a reinhold wollaston meniscus or verito would be good. If you need something in a shutter, look for a imagon but don't use the strainer as that imparts the silhouette of the strainer to the highlight sparkles. Many other lenses will work if you remove some portion of the lens.
