Need help finding the best aerial lens for 6x17

I must have confused the two. I was looking at lenses to cover 6x17 just the other day on that chart you linked to me a while back. Must have confused numbers.. In any case, your shot of the the 12 apostles shows that the 110xl is more than capable on 6x17 without the need of a CF Thats a pretty high contrast scene, and if there was falloff, you would think it would be fairly obvious.. To be honest, for arieal shots of reefs etc, I like a bit of vignetting. I've seen plenty of great shots of the barrier reef with vignetting that really draw you to the subject. Worth thinking about.

Hey thanks again guys, wealth of knowledge! Yer i have been looking at the http://www.largeformatphotography.in.../LF6x17cm.html guide and the XL is about as good as it gets. I will have to buy one and see how it goes. I know what you mean about the pleasing vignetting. I am trying to do a bit more abstract work focusing on patterns more then a point of focus however, that's why i am been so painful and picky. :/

Anyway thanks again chaps you all certainly know your stuff.

let me know if you see a 110XL on the market.

cheers

there a 110xl on ebay from bulgaria, $176 at the moment... i might try and out bid you...just kidding.

Tell me maple, do you fly in a plane or a chopper, and who pays for it?

I am thinking of getting a paramotor next year, to get a bit of levity.

Hahah yer i am watching that item.

Yer i have been through the paramotor idea, I have been flying a paraglider for about 7 years now and on paper the paramotor looks like the perfect solution but it didn't work and It nearly killed me! Apart from the obvious restrictions with a very tiny weather window of operation, and very shot flying rang, a paraglider needs to be flown with your hands near or at close to the toggles in-case of collapse (youtube paraglider collapse) not a good look! Anyway now i have a mate with a microlight (trike) bigger window of operation, further range and far less life threatening :)
