"SUTER, STELLA 360/4.5, Basel" is the name. Any information about this

lens is welcome. This was made by F8 with barndoor shutter. Thanks.

Beside the content of the image being the cause of my drooling...the contrast of the frame is stunning. It shows great understanding of lighting and subject tonal contrast combined. A great example. Thanks.

I wish I had just one of those camera stands!

He looks so calm and at ease in his surroundings.

This is a beautiful piece of work. I think it is one of your best.
