Another brass lens I use it frequently because of its focal length & its
large coverage to 8x10. Although I think its grey tone not as beautiful as
Carl Zeiss Jena Protar Serie V (F18 version) and Georz Berlin Dagor Serie
III (F6.8 & F7.7 version), it is my usual use lens.
The lens is Wide Angle Rectilinear (W.A.R.) design which designed by
Dallmeyer in 1866 and made by Wray London. Mine one is 6in (approximate
150mm) F16 with wheel diaphragm design. It's compact and I wonder it may
cover 8x10.

I took this picture with a slight back tilt at image plane (rear stand) to
make the tire inside the focus (Scheimpflug Principle applied).

As its large coverage, I may rose the lens plane fully (front stand) to
cover the highest building (IFC 2) in the picture.

One of reasons I do like to use large format camera because of its movement
to make the picture with normal view (rectified the distortion) for high
building.

Brass lenses make me surprise that its colour performance is also pretty
good with slide film. Maybe it's because high contrast of slide film to
compensate those a little bit lower contrast of brass lens.
