Awesome! 16” f/4 is a great size!
Maybe not the best glass choice but certainly coolest.
It was $100, and it’s inch thick plate. You’d be hard pressed to find better for 10x that
I thought your friend was trying to have a mustache
No residual strain? I feel like that would be a pain to figure
No
How do you come by such a historic piece of glass?
