Originally posted by Bob Harris Man, I was just glad to take the photo, let alone go to the extent you have gone. Rico, I would love to see some of your photographs using your equipment. Very interesting information, I didn't know any of this equipment was available. thanks Bob
I'm having severe computer problems (writing this on a backup mini-notebook now) so any picture display will have to wait. Actinic tonality can be approximated with a Blue or Magenta digital filter (with some brightness and contrast tweaks) in RAW development and/or PP. Optics are a bit more subtle. Sometimes I'm just lazy, and slap a Light-Blue or Blue-Violet filter onto an AF lens. Sometimes I go whole-hog and whip out a preset or older prime, or an old projector lens. Depends on the mood of the day, eh?

My preferred 'period' lenses:
* W-Komura 35/2.5 (2-ring preset, 10 iris blades)
* Meyer Primagon 35/4.5 (pre-preset, 10 blades)
* CZJ Tessar 50/2.8 (1-ring preset, 12 blades)
* Isco Westar 100/4.5 (pre-preset, 10 blades)
* GoldE Anastigmat 127/3.5 (projector, no iris)
* Hanimar Preset 135/3.5 (2-ring preset, 13 blades)
But lots of old stuff works fine!
