testing old lenses....

I have a growing collection on old lenses, and I am trying to see what they can do for me...

this is a very old Lancaster landscape meniscus type lens, and I removed the lens part from the barrel, and placed it reversed in a shutter.

just a simple portrait of Stine, but going for soft, romantic images, then I think it did the trick..

these old landscape lenses are not too expensive, and many of then are quite small, so that's a way for this kind of images, for those also with smaller LF cameras..
