Karl Struss Pictorial lens

thomas script, 1907 thomas flyer that won the new york to paris race in 1908

From a series of images made with a Karl Struss Pictorial lens.  It is easy to understand why a pictorialist might have chosen this lens in 1915 and never looked further.  It is one of the finest lenses I've ever used.

Jim thank you so much for sharing all of the images shot with the three lenses. For me on a computer screen light direction is the dominant factor with the Struss and the PS. I'm not sure if there is a better of the two. You will have to send them to me for an extended high contrast Australian summer test -- oh and can you send at least 2 of the beautiful cars so the test is "comparative" :)

Jim, the glow is absolutely wonderful, but it is not only the lens, also the picture is perfect.
