Wow great images Walter.

But there's a but and an opinion; these images are somewhat "clinical" and I'm not sure whether they tell me more the individual or the "type".

Ray,

Great to see you posting here again. And thanks for the comments.

Essentially these are tests: tests for shooting geezers, tests of a Nikkor-W 210mm which, on the strength of the results I am listing for sale on Ebay, tests for a flat frontal illumination.

I rarely, if ever, shoot for stand-alone images and so once the testing is complete, if I do decide to proceed (which I well may not) it will result in a typology.

Nothing anywhere near concrete on any of it yet,

G'day Walter,

If you have access to such interesting types it'd make a great series.
