Thought I post it in this thread, as a magnifying glass can be considered as a meniscus.

360/3

Benedicte, though the front element of a 16" Vitax at f/6.

Surprisingly sharp!

Yes, but look at the pearls... Maybe I should have pulled the rear more towards me, but it was at maximum bellow extension... The meniscus have a roughly 666 mm FL (nice number?).

playig with some soft focus lenses. i am trying to dial it all in. neg exposure and printing exposure seems to really have an affect. a few of my wide open shots were a bit too much so i need to shoot some more sheets.

but for now here is an 18 inch spencer port-land on 4x5 at f8

Looks like fun lens Eddie. Was that one of the large neighborhood cats that was bothering you? Take it down with a with 270? Jon

Gave this meniscus thing a chance.
Its a pretty large convex lens element, about 10cm in diameter, and aprox 100mm in focal length. But too mount it I glued it to a cheap lens-board. So its aproximately an f2 lens.
So here it comes.
