Right.. another one then

That's a beautiful portrait.

cant help but stop and admire good choice of focal plane angle to be so selective. Nicely done.

Another month with many great portraits, Serge yet again stands out for me at any rate!
I have been busy working in the studio with no time to play with LF at all... well until my new to me AT thompson Petzval turned up in the post today, AND the Mrs popped in to the studio to visit me just as the epoxy had dried on the retaining ring/lensboard.... so just a very quick and dirty test.... Mounted on a technica lensboard, then on a sinar/technica adpater board and Sinar shutter mounted on my Horseman LS 4x5 at portarit distance it seems to be a 240mm f4 with plenty of coverage for 4x5... more testing needs to be done... when I get time haha!

Nothing special as said, just tests, but I can see this lens becoming a fave!
Fuji isntant;





Type 55 (very expired)

[SergeiR]

Thanks, Nathan.

I like third one of yours better - it frames nicely with trees and she seems to be a little less pressed to hold a pose (ah, that traditional one for formal bridals, old school... ))

[Nathan67]

Thanks for the feedback Sergei Yes she was feeling the seriousness when she saw me pull out the type55 I look forward to making more considered portraits with this lens

The tired photographer... aka myself
Waiting for 145 hassy files to get spat out of lightroom ready for customer deadline tomorrow morning... well the horseman was sitting on the tripod with the new petzval so why not? Self portrait at arms length with normal length release... Fuji 100 4x5 film and lit with the nearest lamp I had at hand, ...an Arri 300 1/15s @ roughly f4
