When i acquired my Verito from Jim he offered me the front and rear barrels to another lens that also used the same studio shutter as the Verito. Naturally for the small additional cost I gladly accepted his kind offer. This image is done with the [I'll call it a Wollensak Series A] Wolly in an attempt to step away from the clinical landscape style I have done in the past. It is a very hard task to use a Petzval like this one in a landscape and not have too much of the radial blur happening in the background. While this lens is a Petzval it is a 9" and on 5x4 the swirlies may not be so prominent as say a 5x7 or 10x8. With the discussion on pictorialism happening on Largeformatphotography I felt inspired to see what would happen with this lens in a ladscape instead of a portrait situation.
