Carl Zeiss Jena Apo-Germinar W 8/150

This is a large, heavy large-format classic lens. I mounted it on the Cambo Actus-Mini B view camera, using the Nikon  Z7 on the rear standard.

Just got it, so this is my first photo, a stacked image of some Tansy from the front of our house.

I am impressed!

wow ! looks good;
The older optics lack the good coatings and the apherical elements that are in lenses today and it may be a good thing.
There is a softness in the sharpness that is beautiful.
