Bimat Images

Return To Homepage

These were taken with a Kodak Bimat lens, I got the lens new in a box, packaged for a repair shop. Kodak used this lens on several cameras near the end of the uncoated lens era (~prior to 1940). The original fstop range was 11-32. By partially disassembling the lens, I was able to make the range ~6-32. I took these shots at the cemetery in Newmarket, NH in early Spring 2009. Except for contrast, brightness and sizing, there was no post processing. It is a compound lens with the front lens adjustable for distance. The lens was attached to an M42 extender tube, then to the end of a bellows. The bellows was attached to my Canon XTi with a focus confirming adapter.
