There is one which lacks the same tonality as the rest, and that is 2g. It was shot with the Rodenstock ,135mm, 1/1000 lens. A four element, primitive optic, which couldn't handle being used wide open in that heavy glare. I got rid of it fairly fast after a few disappointments. I took a bath on it, as it was just overhauled by the guys in Nevada, long before they shut their doors. S.
