75mm Nikon f/4.5 SW coverage at smaller then F/16?

[Nick_3536]

Does the coverage of this lens increase at smaller F stops? I notice it's on the list of lenses for 5x7 but at F/16 the image circle is only 200mm.

The image circle will increase beyond f16. However, if you are looking for an ultrawide for 5X7, the 72mm Schneider XL would be a much better choice - it has a very large image circle which will give you loads of room for movements. It's worth having a long hard think about just hope wide you want to go - 72mm on 5X7 is amazingly wide!

I'm basically looking at it for 4x5 and 6x12 rollfilm but if it covered 5x7 that might tip the scales. The added use would make it more interesting. If it doesn't I think the 90mm F/8 Nikon is my choice.

thanks

Hi Nick

The 75 mm Nikkor does not cover 5x7 it is also not so stated in the original Nikon brochure the 90 f 4.5 and f8 dos it cover and I recommend the f 4.5 it is much easier to focus then the f8!
