Graflex with Kodak Aero Ektar #2
{Two images today | 2/2}
The monster combo: one of the Kodak Aero Ektar F/2.5 178mm lenses mounted on my Graflex Speed Graphic. These lenses were used on aeroplanes (such as B-17, B-24 or P-38) in reconnaissance missions during World War II. My lens was manufactured in 1944, it needs some cleaning but looks quite good. Big, heavy and beautiful. :)
The reason why I bought it is the incredibly shallow depth-of-field when used wide open (F/2.5!!), the sharpness and the amazing bokeh of this lens. Stay tuned, I will post some test shots soon…
