    They do have a different look from the other simple achromatic meniscii I have used. A bit of firmness in the center with increasing softness out from center rather like a petzval but no where near as sharp. A respected voice in UK told me once that it is the biggest piece of s**t of a lens he'd ever used. Irregardless when one presented itself I bought it and found it lovely to my tastes. All of this is so much a matter of personal preferences. I've enjoyed both my 12 and my 18 inch Plasticca with my only complaint not having the opportunities to use them enough.

    The one currently listed is a different lens. (The engraving on the front of the current and earlier listings are different.)

    no, i still have it. i'm going to show some pictures when i get time to develop the negs. i did some on Polaroid 55 but was disapointed with the results on 4x5

    anyway, our friend cameo seems to have a box of these or something, the one he's selling now is the same focal lenght but different make - an original Oscar Zwierzina.
