Christmas Present
My new (used) Christmas lens!
I've been needing a lens in portrait length for 4x5 for quite a while. The Rodenstock Sironar-N 210mm f/5.6 fits the bill nicely!
My new years resolution is to consolidate my gear and this was a 1st step. I'm going to sell off all of my cameras that sit on a shelf. I'll use the sale $ to finish off the kits that I use most often. Tachihara 4x5, Hasselblad and Canon EOS system.
I'll keep the toys as well, like the Brownie Hawkeye and the plasic cameras because they're not actually worth anything, plus they're so different, it's worth keeping them.
Tech for the shot: Black paper from Michaels for background, 2 White Lightning strobes, large softbox left and small fill umbrella right.
I also picked up a Thrift Store Panoramic at... well, the thrift store - for $0.59!
