This is my second Ental II enlarger lens, and I am more and more impressed with these.
The following shots are all handheld on single walk with my large Belgian Shepherd/Husky cross dog, who was pulling me all the time. The light was pretty hard & would normally cause problems. Considering those challenges I think the results are noteworthy.

Normally I do some post processing, but in this case I decided to just show you the straight raw conversions first.

Great, and that with a pulling dog!
I have a German sheperd, I know what it means Very Happy

Inspiring, forcing you to go outside with a camera and next making it nearly impossble to make a good picture.
Chasing a butterfly, destroying mushrooms, happy that you are searching things on the ground too. Sad

Well done, and the lens is certainly nice.

Very good leses those Ental II's are and it shows. TTH used thoriorated glass at that time
for those, so often they brown and they are also radioactive.

Thanks y'all! Smile

I also have the 2 inch f/3.5 and both are luckily not yellowed.

I really want to try some portraits with this one actually.
