Yes, I'm excited not just about this picture as surely better will follow, but more so about the potential that this Pinkham Smith lens holds.

6½X8½ film. And Asher, yes, I shot this same arrangement earlier today with the 14" Visual Quality. It is drying as we speak. It will be fun to compare.

Hi Jim,

This is awesome still life. Just for the sake of completeness, could you add the one film you are using for this series of images and the developing as this for sure will be referenced later! And this lens was?
