Jonathan, I know I should have been working on your lens today when I was making this photo. What do you think of the look of this one. It is a tweaked 14" triplet which retains it's 14" focal length and easily covers 8X10. I continue to tinker with this stuff because the day will come when all of the old fabulous famous lenses will be in collections and folks will want to make soft photos even though there are no more lenses. This is no Pinkham & Smith surely. But it is none the less interesting. What do others think?

Another done with the modified triplet. Look at it a while, it grows on you. Gives a whole new meaning to "full of light"

It would be interesting Jim to see that one used on an actual portrait as it could have some excellent glow at the change of contrast areas.
Hey Jim
Ditto what Steve said, I think these lenses run the gamut in terms of glow, one extreme is where flare/glow from the highlights pervade the whole frame, to this lens, where the glow hangs farely close to the highlights in a subdued way.
The teapot is blowing out as you would expect, just 'focusing' on the plants, and ignoring the pot, the highlights on these have a pleasant shimmering kind of quality.
Take care
