Photo 3D has been buzzing about the quality of the Verascope f40. I have one with Olympus 40 mm probably Zuikos from the Trip. Some say the original Verascope lenses were soft - others that they were fine and internal flare was the problem.

Anyway not being in the slightest technically competent on lenses on cameras, I have found my Verascope a pure joy to use and have recently won first prize in the Southern Cross International.

The winning picture and one that was accepted is to be found here, scanned in for me by Steve Spicer of the "Spicer Mount" fame. My winning slides were of course in Spicer Mounts!

The film used for the winning slide "Ropeable?" was Agfa Scala B&W 200 pushed to 400 and the other slide "Hanging Out" was Kodak Extachrome 100.

I have uploaded them in a couple of sizes to hopefully fit all screens. In case anyone objects - be warned - the winning slide is a nude male.
