My understanding is that this lens will cover 5x7.
The late Ted Harris said in the following thread (four posts from the top) that it was a regular part of his 5x7 kit: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=24110&highlight=docter
Also, Chistopher Perez has a web page that discusses this lens (http://www.hevanet.com/cperez/test/Germinar.html) in which he quotes Kerry Thalman as follows:
At f4.5, the 210mm Tessar makes a good portrait lens for the 4x5 format. Stopped down, it makes a great general purpose lens for the 4x5 or 5x7 formats.
Does anyone know at what what aperture the lens covers 5x7?
Also, am I correct in my understanding that the lens was optimized for f22?
If anyone has photographs made with this lens, and cares to post one or two or to send my a copy via personal message, I'd be grateful. If possible, I'm especially interested in knowing the aperture at which the photograph was made.
Thanks.
