I looked at this short introduction to using 4×5 (large format) film on Ilford’s website with more interest to the lens used.  The Bokeh looked a little like a Helios lens as the aperture circles at center become ellipsoid on the edges of the frame.   The lens Mr. Phimester used is a 178mm Aero Ektar.   I’m still undecided if I like the bokeh or not, but I think in the case of this image in the woods, it has a really nice blanketing feel.  What do you think?  And can you see the different look LF film provides or not?

Large format is an immensely rewarding and enjoyable way to make a photograph. This article is for anyone with an interest in large format.
