Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 24.6cm X 19.6cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a Wollensak 159mm f9.5 lens. The Wollensak wide angle lens dates from the 1930s and is uncoated but because it is a simple design featuring only four elements it is surprisingly flare-free even to direct beams of sunlight between leaves.

Hi Maris

the Image is terrific and I most always love your images!

On the Wollensak Series III f9.5 it actually has 8 elements w/ 4 elements in each cell so a doublet Gaussian design w/ each cell having 2 glued paired w/ an air space between each pair in both cells. So that means 8 air to glass and this design usually does much better when coated.

Now the Ext wide Series IIIa f12.5 which has less corrections at the edges but more IC and has a glued pair in each cell so only 4 air to glass and that may be what your thinking of.

Convention dictates snow on trees, preferably evergreens. Best wishes for the season.

Thanks Louis Pacilla. I've never been able to get more than four reflections off the front and rear groups of my 159mm Wolly so I figured there were four air to glass surfaces and two lens elements. Until today that is. Your post prompted me to look again with an intense point light source in a dark room. Yes, there are two extra very weak reflections indicating cemented lens elements. So it is 8 elements in 4 groups. Yippee, I've got a fancier lens than I thought I had!

Before sunrise, at -28Cº... Brave man!
Got a heavy traffic toward the bigger city for Christmas shopping: 126Cº at the outside temp of the car, go figure...

Cheers, stay warm,
