That's terrible!
The apparent wideness is deceptive, it's totally down to the subject and and the camera/lens position and how you're filling the frame.
So this is a 75mm shot, using my 6x17.
In comparison this is a 65mm shot on 5x4.
I would definitely get a 90mm anyway, it's my second most used focal length for 5x4, the 65mm get used when there's no other way of getting the image I want. The 75mm is fixed to the Gaoersi cone I'd like to use it with the 5x4 cameras as well as it has better coverage copared to the 65mm.

Hi Ian,
What 90mm do you use? Rosie or Schneider?

I use a Rodenstock 90mm f6.8 Grandagon most of the time, but when in Turkey I shoot with a 90mm f6.8 Angulon. I also have a Schneider 90mm f5.6 Super Angulon sat idle at the moment but I think it'll become part of my 7x5 kit.
All three are very very capable lenses, coverage is tight with the Angulon on 5x4 but it's a sharp lens, small & light, important in the heat in Turkey.

Ian,
thank you. What do you say about the Rodie Grandagon 90mm 4.5? Is is a bigger lens. And in my opinion (as a landscape shooter) the 4.5 aperature is not really important for me. What is your opinion? Thanx...

Yes the 90mm f4.5 Grandagon is a bigger lens, I've never found the f6.8 aperture a problem with my Grandagon. Given a choice I'd buy a faster 75mm though as it#s not quite as easy to focus.
