Image of the Week: Tiffany, Middlebury, VermontHere's another example of the beautiful rendering of the Agfa Solinar lens that I use with my 4x5 Crown Graphic. The Agfa's coverage falloff provides a subtle darkening and a wonderful blurring of the image as you approach the corners -- the result is a pleasing vignette effect that comes without post-processing. It's an effect you can see on the ground glass before you trip the shutter. Have questions or comments? Send me an email. Technical DataI photographed Tiffany, Middlebury, Vermont with a Graflex 4x5 Crown Graphic press camera and an Agfa 10.5cm ƒ/4.5 Solinar lens on Kodak TMax 400 (TMY2) at EI 320. The exposure was approximately 1/30 second at ƒ/4.5. I developed the film in Kodak D-76 (1:1). |
