I came across a used Schneider 65mm f/8 Super Angulon (chrome barrel) in mint co ndition at a reliable camera repair shop. I like the (about $325) price on this lense. I would like to use it for 4 x 5 landscape photography using color trans parency film. However, I feel that it may not work that well because of it's ver y small image circle. I am concerned that I may get vignetting on the corners of my film. Even with no camera movement at all. These lenses are about half the c ost of a used 75 mm lense, but they are about the same price new. That is for th e current f/5.6 model. Does anybody have experience using this lense? Should I b uy it, or should I just forget it and save up for a 75mm or 90mm Super Angulon?
