Voigtlander - ca. 1865 Petzval

I'm still housebound, so to while away the time I aim the camera at whatever is there. The best ones so far are from the ol' Voigtlander brass cannon. I managed to mount this on a Cambo 6x6 board. Shutter is whatever I can hold in front and move fast enough. Film is Ekfe 25 4x5 in D76. The plant is an Amyrillis I got from a buddy, and the castor set I got from Mom. There're all soft but very understated. All shot at about f/6 or so, which is wide open for this lens.
