Sold SOLD! Large Format Soft Focus Portraitists 11" f5.5 Simple Meniscus lens

[jimgalli]

BOTH ARE SOLD! THANKS ALL!
I have 2 of these and I offer them very inexpensively. You can do stunning portraits with this lens AFTER you solve how you will mount it and control the light. The fact that the rear thread measures very close to 56mm opens some possibilities. Someone could make a bushing to install them into Copal 3. Or if you're like me you mount them in a wood lens board with a piece of ABS pipe for a shade and a Packard shutter and get to making pics. Many Compound 3 are 56mm. Not sure of direct fit, so no claims.

Either way, cheap and loaded with possibilities. Since they are simple meniscus the colors do not land on the same plane, so forget about Color. These are for lovely black and white work. Nothing to show you. May have to go there. But that usually makes we want to keep them instead! Think about 11" on 4X5! Perfect Portrait focal length. Covers 5X7 too. $30 ea. + $8 for the mailman.

Use these with J. Lane traditional (ISO 1-ish, blue-sensitive) and the chromatic aberration and inability to stop down won't bother you. Under studio lights, you might need to give your sitters an espresso before exposing to prevent nodding off...
