What's your purpose in asking for these photos? I used the Wollensak 159 f9.5 for quite a few 8x10s and could find some to scan and post but I don't understand what it is you're after. If it's some item of information I'll be glad to go to the trouble of finding the prints, scanning, and posting to help you out. But if you're just curious to see what generic photos with this lens look like then I'd rather not since you have the lens and can see for yourself.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
IIRC Correctly, Butch Welch has examples of this lens on his website.

Im mostly curious about the corner sharpness and the perspective on the 8x10 camera.
When i got it CLAed, i also got the restrictor on the aperture removed so it opens up all the way! much convinience for framing.
Ive been using a 210 lens on the 8x10 as wide just wondering what the 159 will look like..
thank you
Here you go...
Here's one. I have never been able to get anything close to sharp corners with it. But it is a fun lens.

It is a photo of my three boys (near center of image). Scanned Platinum/palladium print (8x10).
Edited -- replaced image with another copy of the same.
John, Butch's website seems to be down.. i was kind of curious.
Thank you Jorge and Vaughn.
Vaughn, did you post a wrong photo? or should i chug this cup of coffee first then comment?
No, its the right image -- it is difficult to find the boys in the actual print, let alone a poorly scanned image on a screen!Originally Posted by Deniz Merdanogullari
The boys' faces are the 3 little dots just left of dead center. I just replaced the scanned image with one I just took of the print with a dig camera -- hopefully it is a little easier to see.

Here is another one of the boys taken with the Wollie 159 f12.5.
Find the Waldo (Wollie?) boys...
8x10 platinum/palladium print -- from camera negative. Print then rephotographed with digital camera for posting here.
Vaughn
boy those are some challenging images vaughn! especially on my high res, computer screen.
I hope you found your boys after you took the pictures.
