Imagon 200mm @ f5.6-f8 using iris not the tea strainer.
Hi Jim - it seems old Ford cars multiply in a similar way to old brass lenses. Have you collected the Model T as yet? Any photos to post in the "Galli" style? How does the '39 feel about the new girls on the block? I saw the lenses you have listed and they are classic and very desirable indeed. Luckily I only have a 5x4 with a small lensboard. Fortunately for me all I caught when I visited you was a brass lens disease and not an old Ford car disease. I'm looking forward to images of the three sisters as you shoot their portraits. -- Steve
Don't know where to post these images - nude/my thread about the lens used/portrait...
So I'll post it here.
I recently bought a very nice DUPLOUICH anachromatic lens.
And now I have tried it out for the first time. Suttle but very nice soft focus I think... Going to like this lens very much I think..
Tina was a patient model:
I'll upload an attachment - a cropped version to show the soft focus effect more clearly..
Like the cropped one, very nice.

It's now 3 and 1/2 years since Eddie opened this thread ... over 600 replies and more than 100,000 views ... AMAZING!
Here's a very soft focus shot of flowers in our local park's rock garden built by the CCC back in the last century's great depression ... taken in the late afternoon. 4x5 Speed Graphic outfitted with a 49.5 cent f-3.8 magnifying glass lens given to me by Mark Sawyer.
Acros 100, HC-110, scanned from a print on Oriental Seagull VC-FB.
Quite beautiful indeed, Jim! That cheap little lens does such wonderful things in the right hands. You do it an honor.
And thanks to Eddie for starting this thread, and Jim Galli for inspiring it!
