    Coverage of a CM FUJINON W f/5.6 105mm lens?

    Anyone have some literature that lists the coverage of a CM FUJINON W f/5.6 105mm lens? My FUJI literature only lists the f/8 SW version. Am hoping that it would cover Whole Plate....
    Thanks

    Spec is 174mm at f/22, recommended format is 4x5.

    Rather scanty even for 4x5.

    Its really a normal lens for 2x3.

    If you're set on using a 105 on whole plate, you'll need a lens that covers at least 105 degrees. I don't think there are any 105s that cover that much, could be mistaken. You might want to browse manufacturers' catalogs. Use the list to find them.

    As Oren said, the image circle of the 105 is 174mm.
    The diagonal of 4x5 film is 163mm. That's corner-to-corner of the sheet. Image diagonal is slightly less.
    Granted, that allows zero movements, and perhaps less than optimum definition in the corners, but it certainly covers 4x5 film.

    This. Fuji pushed the coverage a bit, but the CM-W series are normal lenses, and the 100/105 normals are intended for 2x3/6x9.

    I have the 105 5.6 Fujinon W. It is good only for 6X9cm with movements. I had the 120 f8 Fujinon SW. It just clipped the corners of an 8X10. It was sharp but in a funky Seiko shutter so now I have a 120 F8 Nikkor SW in a Copal. It too clips the corners on 8X10 but I don't mind. Here's an old store on Knotts Island NC. 810M Toyo Field camera. Click image for larger version.

    In my brochure Fuji shows 6-1/2X8-1/2 in brackets for the 180 lens, meaning that 180 would be hypothetically usable, but marginally, well stopped-down without wiggle room. That makes sense. 105 is way too short unless you want a donut hole effect.

    Where did 180mm come from?

    Your post is the only one in this thread that mentions that FL.

    Could it be the Nikkor-SW don't clip the corners if you center the lens over the 8x10" film?
