Fujinon 300C, 300A or Nikkor 300M?

Guess, it comes down which one I should buy. I'm shooting up to 8x20.
Anyone covers it?

Thanks.

None of them cover 8x20. All of them cover 8x10. I've owned all three at various times. All are excellent performers.

The Nikkors I have used all have had less coverage the the Fuji C - which has loads of room for movements on 8x10. The 300A can just hit the corners of 11x14 at f45 - stopping down does not help - it mechanically vignettes beyond that. The 300As tend to cost more money. I personally now use a 300 C - it's excellent value and produces great images.

Very good. Thanks Don.
