I recently acquired this little triplet enlarging lens.
I thought that it might make an interesting portrait shooter.
Well, I haven't done any portraits yet, but a quick walk around the garden shows that it has some potential.

Thank you Klaus.
Here is the lens on cheap set of bellows.
The mount plate is simply screwed to an old T mount.
The lens has little or no coatings.
I am surprised by the quality of the images, better than I was expecting

Beautiful rendering Tom. i like the gradations in your monochrome shots and the gentle transitions from light to dark (microcontrast?) of this lens. Looks good on the bellows, too! It reminds me of the look i get with some of the older enlarging Ektars. Works greater flowersand faces! _________________ Canon 5D Mii, Canon 40D, Canon 350D IR, Sony A7 Mii, Sony Alpha-6000, a ton of lenses: AF & MF and too many cameras to count, all formats: 110 - 4x5. |

Thank you for those kind words.
Some lenses seem to like monochrome.
This one is quite at home there.

Chasing an infant with a bellows lens is not easy, and it is difficult to focus, but here is one image taken recently
