Agreed!

I'm surprised that is wide-open, though I have no idea what aperture constitutes "wide-open" on that lens! Cool shot with a lot of interest from the lens. You should share it in the recent thread asking about soft-focus lenses for architecture, seems relevant.
I get similar results with a Darlot pillbox landscape lens, normally f22, but if I unscrew the front of the lens and leave just the brass tube and rear lens, I calculated f9 for mine. It's one of my favorites for intimate woodland scenes, I never thought to photograph something like the above with it. I suspect it is also short for the image size, mine is 14" used on 8x10 and I don't get swirlies on the edges like above.
Thanks for the positive comments. I'm trying to remember, but I think wide open is f/6. Jody, yes, it is the same on this lens, just unscrew the front so it is a brass tube and rear lens. Using a dark slide as a shutter, exposure was faster than my wrist could move, so I taped a 3 stop ND filter to the front to get the speed in the ballpark. OK, I'll make a post in the soft focus as well.
