The rodeo assoc. wants a gallery in sepia. No problemo!!
I think they're kinda "old time" and really pop for 'pegs.
More and more requests of late...go figure?!
Lenses from each vintage have their own signature. Sepia toning was popular from the 1870s into the 1890s. The common lens then was the Rectilinear, with the Petzval still being the popular lens for portraits. (Both lenses were uncoated, giving low contrast and a softer look.) The photo you posted is a great one, but is instantly recognizeable as being made with a modern multi-element, multicoated lens. If you really are after "old time," find a rapid rectilinear lens on ebay (common on Kodak folders of 1900-1920 vintage) and have it put into Nikon F by SK Grimes. That will give you something truly unique--you could be the only one doing rodeos with such a lens (except maybe me.)
