the studio. It's actually a whole different story but
it leads into this one. 5 different lenses, same
picture. 18" Gundlach Radar f4.5, 18" B&L
Plastigmat Portrait f5.6, 14.5" B&L Magic Lantern
triplett f5, 12" Voigtlander Euryscop Portrait f4.5,
and 19" B&L Tessar IIb f6.3.

I processed
my 5 sheets of Efke, cleaned out
my messy
darkroom so I could print, and
stayed up
until 2:15 AM printing.
Ives #258 Locy
So this morning
I wanted to play with another
antique lens
but I didn't want to go through
quite as
much drill to see some results. Plus
my Efke 8X10
loads were all used up. Hmmm.
Orbit f16
Orbit f5
Idea!
Why not load some Polycontrast into the
810 holders.
I can shoot 3 or 4, run downstairs,
soup 'em,
run back up an play some more while
those 4 are
washing. Well to make this long story
short, that's
exactly what I did and it worked
so good I
had completed 12 pictures in 3 hours.
Greenlee Knockout Punch Set
I'm a little
leary of posting these at APUG
because of
the unconventionality of the
workflow
might ruffle the feathers of some
of the fundamentalist
analogieu.
the devil
Since it was
polycontrast, I found I needed
a #1 1/2
printing filter in the taking lightpath
to subtract
contrast. I developed 2 min.
stopped,
fixed for 60 sec. rinsed in sodium
sulfite /
H2O bath for 2 minutes, washed 10
minutes,
and threw them on the floor in front
of a heater
vent. So I could have 4 pics
ready to
scan in 30-40 minutes.
work shoes
OK, these
probably won't be my lifetime
defining
pictures. Granted. But I had a
hell of a
good time playing and it was too
$%&%^*
cold outside to go make important
pictures.
Plus I got to see what my old
Burke &
James AJAX lens was capable of.
Gundlach Radar
OK, this one
was done with the giant
18" Plastigmat
Portrait.

And this one
was done with a 305mm
"Lenzar"
(looks like a sibling in the
Agfa Super
Intergon family to me).

Pretty fun really.
