    Good choice for a 5x7 wide angle?

    Hi all, looking for some advice on a good wide angle for 5x7".

    Currently looking at a fujinon 120mm SW f/8. Will this have plenty of coverage?

    Cheers

    Re: help choosing an 8x10

    Have sent them a message on their Facebook page! Requested a 4x10" back too! agreed one could be made easily enough though.

    Was also thinking intrepid until I was told any camera under 3.5kg will struggle with vibration. Is this really true? The wait is not a problem.
