Eight new paper negatives of this set up today.  But I happen to know my friend Jonathan is just a wee bit partial to Pinkham & Smith lenses.  This one is I believe the first image my new-2-me Pinkham Bi-Quality 14" lens has made for me.  I used good old Kodak RC Polycontrast paper with an Aerial Recon yellow filter in the light path.  That cuts the contrast to about half.  Paper negs usually suffer from too much contrast.  These have luscious tones.  I would urge you to click on the link for a larger version of this scan.  It's trite to say you can't see it all in a 90kb .jpg, but in this case the Bi-Quality has packed a powerful punch that may only be seen in a print held in your hand.

I hope that while I'm lucky enough to be the current steward of this lens I can tap just a small portion of it's capacity.
