I intend to work 6x9 (actually no problem to crop to 6x8) on my Gowland 4x5 all moves. I know Fujinon offers 162mm image circle, multi coated and comes with a Copal shutter but haven't got much idea on the Zeiss one that comes with an old Compur shutter and doesn't show any sign of coating at all. I am curious to know which one would you recommend? How big is the image circle of CZJ 105mm f4.5 @ f22? They are both inexpensive so price is not an issue here.

The Tessar only covers straight on, and is probably taken from an old 6x9 folder.

If price is not an issue get the newest one.

redu, the f/4.5 Tessar rule of thumb is that coverage < 1.1 focal length. Get the Fuji.
