Got My Wet Plate Portrait Lens

 Got the Portrait lens today.  I hope to use for 8x10 and 11x14 Ambrotype Portraits. Am hoping the F4.5 will create a nice bokeh (the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image).

The lens came with Deardoff boards which fit my 8x10 Deardorff (Eddy) and my 11x14 Chamonix cameras. A nice bonus. I need to figure out the lens caps yet

Schneider Xenar 300mm and 360mm F4.5 lens.

Note* Found a lens so that kinda works for the 360mm. Also got a Bach on the last trip that will protect it.

Note** I might give the lens a go tomorrow when shooting at the plant.
