Greetings. I have looked high and low for the answer and find nothing but confusing and contradicting answers. I have an Artar 24" Red dot lens. I would like to know if the lens will fully cover the 14x17 format. The 14x17 I will be using is a wet plate camera so I won't be stopping the lens down. Most likely I will shoot around wide open to 2 stops down at the max. I did mange to land on a page that lays out the specifications of the Artar from an old Artar ad. The page mentions the lens will cover a 14x17, yet there is no mention of the image circle. Other posts I found mention the lens has an image circle of 20" and will only cover 11x14. Some even say the 24" Artar will only cover 14x17 when stopped all the way down. I'm not looking for movements as I'll be shooting simple wet plate compositions with a focus on infinity. Is there anyone that has used the 24" Artar on a 14x17 camera? Thanks in advance.
