Hi all.
A lens test taken with 15 inches RR . a super small size B & L 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches diameter at F10? for which I paid for $25 at a used camera store yesterday. Let me know what you think.

Hi TT,

The image is wonderful. The lens imparts a nice glow. The out of focus areas look a bit rough though. Maybe due to the f10 minimum aperture. It will be fun to find the sweet spot for this lens.

Tri, it looks nice! Isn't it great when we find these gems! I still need to play with my big Darlot that I got for 90.00 that covers my 11x14 and find its sweet spot also.

Thanks Jim & Jim. I was hoping the lens has a little more Petzval look but obviously not . It sure has an classic look compare with the modern lens. Best, TT

these are from my 1st public wet plate shoot. all went very well.

1st two are 5x7 black aluminum. love that kids freckles. i will shoot him again. the smallest kid totally moved his head to look around as i was getting ready to shoot. i am very surprised he was in focus! missed his chin as a result but way better than i had hoped when i seen his head swivel.

the last one of francis is clear glass ambrotype (CGA)
