Adding the lens is 100 years old, I'd want to use it at every moment I could creating images we get feeling nice and comfy warm about what we look at when shot a "100 years ago.!" :-) When we're moved to those kind of nice feelings we would be shooting like crazy 24 hours straight exposing wonderful 100 year old looking photographs! With the wonderful "MOOD LOOK AROUND IT?" As we see posted by you. Certainly a most beautiful visual effect! cheers, Dr. ted :-)
