I recently acquired this lens, and have read conflicting information. I can't find any information on its image circle, other than that an old Goerz catalog says it has a 90 degree field of view at F6 and can cover 4x5 wide open, and a regular user has stated that it has a 100 degree FOV. Neither of these statements provides the exact circle.
I was planning on using it on a 6x12cm camera, but have read that it can cover up to 5x7 inch when stopped down to F22 and above (with some corner vignetting). This would mean it could be used on a 6x17cm setup of some kind. My understanding is that 6x17 cameras require a 179mm circle.
Can anyone confirm what the exact image circle is?
