<p>I just bought this lens, anyone ever seen one? i can find nothing about them, gold rim dagor yes but not artar, its a beautiful lens. any info about this would be appreciated here is an image of it.</p><div></div>
-
<p>thanks for the comments, i really like this lens on 5x7, i actually bought it for 8x10 but its just wayyyy to wide for me. my 90 f8 will work on the 5x7 but i dont use it much. thanks again for the nice comments</p>

<p>while i was down at the falls it started raining, it was a 2 mile hike back to the car, so i stood under this tree trying not to get wet until the rain passed over, as i was standing there i looked back and saw this part of the trail, thought it was kind of cool looking, this was shot 81 seconds @ f32</p><div></div>
-
<p>this one is benton falls from the bottom, found this really cool looking tree in front of the camera, tilted a bit too much and couldnt get everything sharp at f32, oh well ill know better next time, exposure time was 27 sec, kind of dark down there</p><div></div>
-
<p>this next one is from the top of benton falls, i was really close to the edge here, standing partly on slippery leaves, drop is about 40 ft. anyway i got the shot. lol</p><div></div>

<p>hello all, been a while since ive got to come on here, took the 5x7 out today with the 121 Sa lens, film used was fomapan 200 (i already hate it) reciprocity bites. </p><div></div>
-
<p>i have never had any issues with any them, i do like b&h because many times they will ship out same day, i live about 2 hours north of atlanta (where keh is located) and many times if i order something from keh and b&h on the same say, they usually will arrive on the same day even though B&h is in new york, i think all 3 are great companies, but i really like keh's customer service. </p>

<p>hey tom, that is very good, im not very good at photo shop though i only have elements 8, i use it mostly for skin softening and things like that, nothing really fancy. you did a good job with it though i think.</p>
-
<p>here is the one of my 6 year old niece</p><div></div>
-
<p>cliff that sounds like a pretty cool idea,i have another b&L RR that is razor sharp then fades off, its pretty cool too but i really like this one alot, it is made my b&L but sold under the name Andrew J Lloyd of Boston. i think its from around 1891 but not really sure, it has both a front and rear element, Jim told me that he has a couple of lenses that give that exact look and they are wide angle lenses on an 8x10, maybe back in the day they were used for group portraits or something. i shot a couple more tonite of my niece, i have already dev. them im just waiting for them to dry.</p>
-
<p>hey cliff, no it doent say anything on the lens,, i contactd jim galli about it and he said these lenses dont even begin getting sharp till around f16 or so, this one does not have an aperature setting so its stuck at around f8. it will cover 8x10 but i have only used it on 5x7 and 4x5. </p><div></div>
-
<p>interesting tom after you made your post i thought i do have one of her in almost the same pose but just a little closer, this was shot with the nikon d200 before skin softening, lighting fixed, stray hair out of face, blah blah blah, the things we have to do now days to make a portrait lol. thanks for the idea tom</p><div></div>
-
<p>very nice shot, that old ektar lens renders color very well, i had one of these cameras and loved it, sold it last year. wish i would have kept it. nice work</p>
-
<p>hi kris, yes it was natual light, she had to stand still for a few lol, she was having a hard time thats when i told her to just stare at the lake, pose seemed to work well. </p>
-
<p>thanks for the comments, we were standing on a pier and i told her that this was going to take a min or two so just stare at the lake and she did, she was actually watching this fish swim around. : ). no i havnt done any color with it yet but that would be interesting, i think i do have some fuji 160 in my freezer though. </p>
-
<p>im going to do an 11x14 silver print for her as a thank you</p>
-
<p>I was doing some senior pictures of this young lady today and i asked her if she would mind if i took her picture with an old camera like that use to be used way back in the day, (people understand when you explain a field camera like that) she said sure that would be cool, so i used the old soft B&L </p><div></div>
-
<p>no it has both elements, it is in a shutter but does not work, i contacted jim galli over at LFF who in my opinion is the brass lens master and he told me that those lenses will not even begin getting sharp till about f16, this particular one has no aperature scale, so its kind of stuck wide open, i have another b&l that is tack sharp in the center. it would be kind of nice to be able to stop it down a bit for focussing though, its a pain to focus especially with a low contrast scene, but im really enjoying the look, doing a portrait with it today. thanks for the nice comments</p>
-
<p>i can see some good uses for this baby </p>
-
<p>here is one i did with the 5x7 back on it,, just a weed, whites really glow with this lens. excuse all the scratches and dust. </p><div></div>

<p>hey guys thanks for the nice responses, im planning on doing a portrait session with it tomorrow, it is a really neat lens, the guy i bought it had never used it so he decided to sale it, i didnt really know what i was getting, it was manufactured by B&L and sold under the name Andrew J Lloyd of Boston, the fellow bought it for his 8x10, i actually have it mouted on my 5x7 and used my 4x5 back to test with. will post some more </p>
-
<p>this lens will cover 8x10 but i tested it on 4x5 to see how it would do. </p>
