D-J-S:
this is the extent of my photo set-up now. yashica electro 35 GSN.
William:
My new Yashica medium format TLR, I'm so stoked to use it. I bought it about thirty minutes ago, it's so well taken care of. Came with a wide angle lens set and a telephoto lens set as well.
I'm going to be in the darkroom all next week, can't wait to take this baby outside!
Thepoolman:
this camera except a zeiss ikon lens
and a Hasselblad 500c with a 120mm lens
i plan on procuring an old petzval style brass lens that I will use on both camera for wetplate work
Pffffff:
Nice! What's with these lenses? I hear a lot about them on LF forum, but what are the main things that make it a "petzval"? The apperture?

its just the cut and quality of glass and the way the lens is built. Petzval lenses are most notable for their super dreamy swirl bokeh.

most antique brass lenses have the swirl mostly because they are just holes for the aperature opening. but the way the glass is cut and arranged on a petzval creates a more intense swirl and seperation from the back and foreground
