I started a thread in the Large Format forum about a lens i just picked up... an old Hayden, Booth &Holmes Petzval lens from 1860. I've been playing around with it and the Betterlight scanning back (since it doesn't require a shutter to use).
But a 30 second scan time is doable for portraits (that's a typical exposure time for when the lens was used .. just not very convenient.
So i jury rigged my view camera, sliding back, the lens, a shutter and gaffers tape to get it working with the Leaf 75s
the Frankencamera..
the first test shot (my barely willing neighbor)
and a test shot (pano from the sliding back) from this morning's walk
100% crops
