I have aquired a Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 15cm lens and was wondering what the size of the image circle would be on this lens. The lens is identified as a Linhof and it came with a Linhof Tech lll 4x5.
Thanks

Pat, the Apo-Lanthar 150mm has an angle of view of 53° and an image circle of 149,6mm at infinity. This is good for 9x12cm (3.54"x4.72") with a diagonale of 140mm but to small for 4x5" with a diagonale of 152mm.

I don't know much about specs, but she seems to work just fine at infinity on my 4x5, even with modest movements. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

This is a fantastic wide open lens for b&w portraits, hope you enjoy it!
Please also note that at closer focus distances, the image circle increases in size.
Normal portrait distances and 4x5 should not be a problem (assuming no movements).
Thanks for the info all. Looking forward to seeing how this lens performs with B&W in the field.
