This looks nice. What is your opinion on those lenses?

Wow, that's an OOF-al picture, bokehlicious that is. Great! Bob.

What has the subject said about this? I think there's too much leg...but that's just me.

@scheimfluger_77 It's a cheap way of getting long lenses with good coverage at least, that's for sure. I think I bought it for €30 or something. That said I also picked up one of those big sinar shutters cheap so I can mount whatever I want and still get reasonably accurate times. If it has a problem it's that stopped down it's just too sharp :-D Detail is extraordinary.

@jtk not sure if you're being sarcastic and this is a comment about the lack of detail in the shadows If so, then yes rodinal isn't a great combo it seems with fomapan. Very contrasty. This is shot at 200 and developed in Rodinal at 1:15 rotary dev. But it's only 10ml of rodinal for two 8x10 sheets so I'm contemplating upping the working solution amount, it's 10ml to 150ml at the moment, going to try 20ml to 300ml if I it'll fit into the cup at the top of the tank.

Thanks Daire. That’s amazing about the sharpness. Your out of focus softness looks good too.

Daire, I didn't mean to comment on shadow detail. I meant to comment on composition. I don't imagine there's anything you could have done about the black tights, other than shooting closer or cropping.

Here we have bokeh that is pleasing and acts as a good frame for the focused (in more ways than one) subject. - David Lyga
