Lately I've been aiming at motifs in my back yard to test older cameras. These shots are my first from a Kodak Vollenda 6x9 folder that I got recently. The lens is an impressive-looking Kodak Anastigmat f/4.5 10.5cm job on a Compur shutter. I hoped this lens would compare to the Kodak Anastigmat f/6.3 that I have grown to love. This lens focuses to under 1 meter (front cell focusing), so I tried some close views that I cannot get with other cameras. While the central region was very sharp, this lens seems to have severe dropoff of acuity near the edge, which I attributed to the near-focusing front cell. The black and white shots are with respooled-to-620 APX 100 in D-76 1:1.Kodak Vollenda 620
