Here are three Verito offerings. Taken with a 14.5 lens on 4x5 and 8x10.

1. 4x5, a bench on a lake in Davidson's Mill Pond Park in New Jersey. The sun was in front and at the upper left, producing a very high contrast situation. Something that the Verito (and I assume most SF lenses) love.

2. 8x10In the same park, but a view across another pond. This is the entire negative. At the size that fits a PC monitor, you don't see much of an effect other than it's "painterly." Most of the time I think shots like this just look out of focus, but this one maintained interest (at least to me).

3. A crop of #2, showing how the person sitting on the bench occupies a focal point. At a 11x14+ printing size, this tends to draw one into the picture (I hope!).

I love this lens. It has such limitless possibilities, given the availability of sherpas to carry all the other stuff.
