I did manage to find a 50mm lens on Yahoo auctions. This picture was taken at f32 and 1 second. I used an Epson 4990 for scanning and I'm pretty sure I could pulled more detail out of it if I spent more time fussing with the film holder. At some point I want to try drum scanning one of these.

Wow! Congratulations on your acquisition. This is truly an unique lens and your picture is a great sample of the superb results that it can deliver. Kudos!

What film did you use?

Can I include a link to your beautiful photograph somewhere on my website?

Cheers!

Thanks.
Sure, I wouldn't mind if you linked to this image. The film I used was Astia 100F.
