Jury rigged this onto some Pentax auto bellows, here's a test I've taken with it.



I plan on heading out and taking more with it soon!

I love that lens on the original Isolette III!
Just a tripplet if I remember correctly but well made.

Yeah, I'm surprised it's just a triplet, too. I didn't get to head out with it yesterday but I might today.

I believe the lens shifted (which is highly possible seeing as how I'm just using masking tape to secure it to the bellows) which caused a lot of light to leak through, making these images (especially the first one) low-contrast.

Low contrast is not necessarily a problem that can’t be solved! I like since it allows for more editing headroom.
I took the freedom to do a black point and midtone adjustment. It shaped up nicely!

Super easy to add contrast, much harder to remove it and still look natural(to me).

Fantastic! That's exactly how it looked to my eyes.

I edited the second picture to increase contrast and it does look a lot better. I agree with Lightshow, it is a lot easier to add contrast than to take it away.
