A 1921 Kodak Anastigmat f:7.7 170mm. The Anastigmat design was first released in 1914 based on a four element Dialyt design, like the Goerz\/Schneider Artars. I was, of course, hoping for some strange look about the image, but for an old lens, it was pretty sharp. And the shutter speeds seemed to still be on point.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/32475636246\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"TFSM - Phrozen Phingers\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/458\/32475636246_79bd9b6c8f_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"801\" alt=\"TFSM - Phrozen Phingers\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There was one good thing about the melt; the water was flowing nicely over the falls.
