Monocle?
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2022 1:49 pm
Hi all -
So I found some old lenses (term used loosely here) and thought I'd see how things look on the 8x10. This is I guess technically a monocle lens. $3 glass magnifying lens from Ace Hardware. I'd tried it, unsuccessfully IIRC, on 10x12 years ago, put it in a drawer, and there it sat. Trimmed the lensboard the lens is hot glued to last week, taped a Packard in front and shot a couple of Maddie while she was home last weekend.
The stellar mount job on the shutter:
Not an everyday sort of thing, but I like the effect. I have an idea for a landscape kind of shot with this, stay tuned.
