    This is just a simple scan from a 2003 Gitzo catalogue.
  2. Re: using a Nikon 65mm SW with the Lee filter system without vignetting?

    I have used the same lens with a Lee wide angle adaptor ring and a 2-slot filter holder for landscape stuff. It worked fine. No vignetting.

    Re: Chamonix?

    Most of all, I didn't like the fiddly way it has to be set up and packed away. So I went back to a non-folding Ebony at the time.

    Please show your 6x17 pictures

    Lets show those wide panoramics.

    The first two images were taken in Belgium, one in the Hallerbos near Brussels, the other one is from the Hautes Fagnes. The third image was taken in Luxembourg.

    Re: your favorite 90mm lens?

    I have tried a Super Angulon 5.6/90mm, a Grandagon-N 6.8/90mm and a Grandagon-N 4.5/90mm (and had a SA 8/90mm on a 6x17 Gaoersi). All of them performed extraordinarily well in terms of image quality,...

    The Apo-Grandagon-N 55mm has an image circle of 163mm at f/11 (so, at f/22, its IC will be larger), while the Super Angulon (not Symmar) 58XL has an IC of 166mm at f/22.
