Needless to say I am smitten with a new lens. Hermagis Eidoscop 150mm and 4X5 Ektapan. The Eidoscop shares it's design lineage with the Nicola Perscheid and the Pinkham Visual Quality series IV lenses. The French re-interpret the contrast to their liking and I must say, I love the Eidoscop lenses. The Ektapan was 1977 film with plenty of film base plus fog present. It was nice to play in 4X5 for a change. What a lens! This was done 1 stop in from wide open, f6.3

Hi Jim,
what a wonderful picture and a wonderful lens. I just found a Nicola Perscheid (210mm) but it is in need of repair. If it will look like your Hermagis I am very happy.
All the best from Berlin

Finally some miniature camera work Jim :)
I have a Petzval about that length that I could try a similar setup. Might be fun.
The richness of tone in your image is very pleasing.

Thanks Stefan and Steve. What does the Nicola need Stefan? Let me know if you decide you don't want it. I don't have one yet. Would love to have one to compare with. Ya, Steve, the mini cam. 10 photos in about 40 minutes. Almost a digi cam. jg
Hey
Congratulations on the Hermagis, I know the wife is happy you get lenses instead of a Harem 8^)) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, we did a cost comparison on harem vss lenses and the lenses just barely edged over the harem, so it's lenses for now. Stay tuned, I've got more to show you.......
