I've got a lot to learn about making these entries. Can't get stuff to go where I want it. Oh well, suffice to say
I very nearly dumped this lens until I made these images earlier this evening. No longer 4 Sale :D

Thanks all. I really enjoy the full plate size. These have sort of a soft-crisp thing going on if you will. Interesting to note that when I looked at the portrait in the gg it looked as though it would just be mush. Even looking at the neg it looked like mush. Then you have a look at the positive and there really is some lovely definition. This old lens surprised me how it handled difficult light. Can't wait to do more. So many lenses, so little time. Steve, 10X8 is calling.

Hey Jim
Absolutely great relationships between foreground and background action, the images pop!!!! I'm very taken with how this lens portrays highlights, right on the edge of what you can see detail wise, yet still pleasant. Whenever a photographer tackles highlights, it always ends up in one of two ways, a garish looking 'hotspot', or a beautiful glow.
The bokeh/background glows in both shots, congrats.

Hi Jim,
as always a perfect capture of the light with a wonderful glow. It is a great pleasure looking at those pictures.
All the best

I was sooooooooooooo close to getting that old lens :) SOOOOOOOOOOoo close!!!!
But then I worked out that POS didn't really mean Point Of Sale :)
I am begining to feel I need a 10x8 to get that "certain" look -- or should I just go straight to a 16x20
I really like the images Jim. That is possible one of the nicest lenses in your collection -- for that type of light.

That's the 'trick' w/these lenses, the reason I bracket no matter what, particularly wideopen, several times, the other shot that I wasn't expecting to come out, came out better than the shot I expected to come out.
I guess that's what I get for expecting.
