Photo taken with a vulgar magnifying glass.

[Petzval 1840]

Hello:

This evening I have taken this photo with a current magnifying glass of 4 dipotries, that is equivalent to a lens of 250 mm.

Clearly there is no diaphragm and the photo is taken to full opening.

The capture has been taken without tripod and bearing the magnifying glass in the bellows with the hand. It is possible that it has brought in light between the magnifying glass and the bellows, diminishing the contrast.

I wait for the results of your experiments.

Bests Regards: David.
