These two images were made with a Kodak Aero Ektar lens on my Speed Graphic 5×4 large format camera. The lens was designed for aerial photography during WWII and it’s quite a chunk of glass. Here’s a picture of the setup: http://www.simplyoxford.com/equipment/equipment-aero-ektar

Broad street & Catte street junction. This film is Ilford XP2 (expired).
Broad street. This film expired in 1991. I bought a job lot of it so I'm pleased with this result.
It is so nice that depth of field…
