Just developed negs from the Protar VII last night

I like this lens. :-) But for general use I'm going to look for either (1) apo-nikkor 420/9 and a thornton-pickard shutter (or maybe canibalize a baby speed), or (2) nikkor-m 450/9. The former because of the image characteristics, esp. @ the price. The latter just because of size, though they do tend to be pricey. Ok, some quick & dirty scans. Just 200 dpi with some moisture remaining on the paper. Shot with a yellow filter http://www.brendemuehl.net/images/Ice001a.jpg Shot with no filter Printed with just a touch of yellow for a little lower contrast. http://www.brendemuehl.net/images/Ice002a.jpg I like the image rendering of the Protar VII. Oh, if only there were a shutter speed beyond 1/75! I wonder what the cost would be to put these into a Copal 3? What kind of shutter is it in now? 1/75th sounds like a Compound. If so its a perfectly good and very reliable shutter despite the air-brake regulator. Getting a large shutter to run at high speeds is not trivial and often the top marked speeds are illusory since they apply to the full aperture and at smaller apertures the opening and closing times cause the effective speed to be slower. -- -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
