Crosby Woods

One of the last images I did with the 4x5. Also this was taken with a

very old brass barrel, uncoated 90mm Protar lens. This lens was

optimized for use at f22 and f32. Despite being uncoated and giving a

low contrast image, it was very sharp! Hard to focus at f 32 though

through the ground glass and loupe because the image was so faint.

The 16 x20 image from the scanned negative is really sharp and detailed.

This really gives the feeling of a period piece, timeless in a way and very different from the more polished but somehow less authentic images we have today.
