The Boston skyline from the MIT boat house.

I've added the following info as there were some questions recently 
about aperture scales and individual cells for the Series VII.

This photo was taken with the rear cell of a B&L Protar VII.  Both front 
and rear cells are the same... 23 1/4 inches - f12.5 when used singly, 
(about 590.55mm), and 13 1/4 - f6.3 when used together.

The unit has two aperture scales, the outer for both cells at f6.3 and 
the inner for a single cell at f12.5.  It's mounted in a Compound shutter.

The front cell has a serial number ending with 7344.  The engraving on 
the rear cell has a lot of wear but appears to end in 7343.
