Another lens of remarkable range is the Bausch & Lomb-Zeiss Convertible Protar, Series VII, which might well be used by photographers who do outdoor work and home portraiture. The single lenses of this convertible series are adapted for instantaneous outdoor work under favorable light conditions, for landscapes, groups and large heads, while the double is adapted for groups and architectural work.
As an example of what this lens will do in the hands of a photographer we cite the fact that it was used by W. S. Lively, President of the Southern School of Photography, located in McMinnville, Tenn., in making the two portraits entitled “Son of the Mountains” and “Study of an Old Man.” The former won the Grand Prize in Open to World Class, April 10, 1907 of the Tri-State Association of Photographers and the Grand Prize in Open to World Class, Chicago, May 9, 1907. The latter was selected to hang in the Daguerre Memorial Building at Winona Lake, Indiana. It is reproduced as the frontispiece in this issue of the Photographic Times.
