I believe it was the 3.5F. I had two TLR's at different times so I can't say for sure. I believe both were Tessars. Both about as good a lens as I ever used; maybe the best.

Yes, 3-d is the exact look. I haven't put many of these shots up for sale since I couldn't do them justice until the 4990 scanner came along. Plus, the detail is still not visible - it never really is - on the web.

I was aware of the amazing quality of the lens at the time and didn't want to screw it up with hand shake. Tripod and cable release.

Barrett: ZERO PERCENT.

A good project, when I have nothing better to do, would be to go through the photography store and see how many Medium Format shots were hand held. I can only think of one.
