Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex IIa (late)

I have posted other shots of my dad's old Ikoflex, but this is a test shot that is more about the lens used than it is about the camera in the photo - read on...

 

Photo taken with a Graflex 1941 Anniversary Speed Graphic 4x5 camera, using Ilford HP5 Plus black and white sheet film; Developed in Kodak HC-110.

 

The lens used on the Speed Graphic for this shot was a Steinheil München Cassar 100mm f/6.3 borrowed from a Pho-tak Foldex 6.3 folding camera. It's a 120 roll film camera, so this lens does not cover 4x5. I knew that going in, but my subject matter here was not filling the frame, so I knew I'd be safe for this particular shot. But it won't work for 4x5 out in the world. Still, it's showing itself here to be plenty sharp!
