Hi everyone,
I recently finished restoring a classic Wollensak Verito Diffused Focus 8 3/4" lens.
I took it on some field tests by the sea to see how it handles ice and contrasty winter scenes.
The lens was mounted on a Long Focus Poco No. 18.
It really does do the trick, capturing the atmosphere of the frozen remains of the pier and the surroundings.
There's something truly special about the "Verito style" that modern glass simply can't replicate.
Greetings from Poland!
