Flower Vase-Voigtlander Euryscop vs Kodak AeroEktar

I decided to see how these 2 lenses, the Voigtlander Euryscop IV, Ser III, and the AeroEktar would handle the same subject matter.  I used a 6x12 magazine and Ilford FP4 rollfilm, for the Euryscop shot, and 4x5 Ilford FP4 sheetfilm w/the AeroEktar, I used rollfilm to bracket like hell since this was the setup, and then when I got an idea of what I was up against, I then went to sheet film.

 I didn't make any attempt to make this scientific, the Euryscop was shot wideopen which I believe is at about F6 @1sec., and was scanned in RGB, and then was completely desaturated of color.  I scanned in the AeroEktar in RGB(hell if I know why), and left it that way, couldn't bring myself to turn the knob to desaturate it

I took 4 exposures of the Vase w/the AeroEktar wideopen(F2.5), 1/30, 1/8, 1/2, and the 1 sec, this one is the 1/2sec shot.

I like the AeroEktar shot better, maybe better isn't the right term, I like the AeroEktar difference on this particular shot, doing this has 'wetted my appetite' in terms of using both lenses, I don't the books is closed for me on either lens. I get the feeling that the next shot, depending on the subject matter, could have produced a preference for the Euryscop.

You guys pic 'em.

Take care

Hi Johnathon,
I "prefer" the second image. The diffused base and slightly different lighting seem more inviting. Which ever lens you can spare I will send you a postal address and I can "test" them thoroughly for you. :)

I agree, #2 is just right. That big light bucket does good things with the shallow dof.
