Here is an image taken with my 15.5" Velostigmat with the defuser maxed out after removing the small screw. BTW the 11x14 Vitax lens has long ago been moved to a better home where one of the forum members uses it.
My modified Velo lens (7 ½ in, F/4.5) purchased from Mr. Galli finally arrived at my residence in China after a long journey.
Facing some difficulty mounting the lens to the Technika board, it snugs now perfectly in and needed immediate testing.
Here you can see the result of the table top arrangement of a "strange flower"...

A new-to-me in barrel Imagon 300mm, middle disk with holes fully open (H7.7 at 1/30). Bright but overcast day.
Sinar P2, Fomapan 100 in Rodinal, 5x7 cropped to 5x6 (light leak).
I've got a wide open (halo-rama!) version of this if anyone is interested.
This is a great thread, it's got me fascinated... a Reinhold Wollaston is on order :-)

Peter ... very nice ... congrats on your 1st image post. I'd also like to see your halo-rama version.
Really like this image ... nice composition and the juxtaposition of the bare branching and bricks with the foliage and flowers creates interest. More images needed now that you've fallen into the soft focus well.
Thanks all, these are straight off the scanner so probably why they're a bit dark. I didn't want to do any processing in PS but maybe I should?

In barrel Imagon 300mm, fully open (no disk, around f4.8). The same bright but overcast day.
Sinar P2, Fomapan 100 in Rodinal, 5x7 (again cropped to 5x6 - light leak at bottom).
With the previous shot I went for what I assumed would be the average (middle disk of the three, holes open), I think maybe the first disk with the holes open (or partially open) would have probably given a subtle but perceptible glow. By all accounts the Imagon is tricky to master - I guess that means it behaves differently depending on the circumstances. I'm enjoying it already!
