I have the 162mm, (Graphlex Optar), which is made by Wollensak (I believe it is the same as the Raptar, just renamed), which I use all the time on my Speed Grap hic. I dont know its coverage (but at 162mm, its probably fine for 4x5), but I c an use the full rise (19mm) of the SG without any coverage problems. Its a sharp lens, its biggest drawback is mine appears to be uncoated, which means probably pre-war. However, for most shots, my chromes are very saturated. The 190mm shou ld have plenty of coverage.
