Coverage of 165mm Super Angulon?

[Gene McCluney]

The 165mm Super Angulon...will it cover 8x10?

[Ole Tjugen]

Yes.

[Gene McCluney]

Yes.

Is there any wiggle-room for movements?

about 3" rise/fall I think

(you know it's not a small lens though, don't you?)

Yes, I know it is a big lens. 8x10 is a big format. Not concerned about the size, my 8x10 has 7" square lensboards.

it's the 3 1/2lbs as well... I have one, but I only tend to take it out when I really know I will need it. Otherwise the 6.5" Dagor goes in the bag

Old thread, I know.

Anyway, I'm interested to know if these will cover ULF, namely 11x14 and 7x17".

Some conflicting information out there…

Thanks in advance!

Lachlan,

You might find this current thread of interest as it deals with published image circle versus usable on ULF: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...Contact-Prints

Hope that helps,

Thanks, Len.

Actually, reading that thread is what made me ask.

Its contention is fine: many lenses cover more than specified.

In addition, threads like this one give specifics.

The trouble comes when someone claims a given lens will cover format X and there is no information/linking to substantiate the claim.

This is the case with the 165mm SA. I have read a claim that it does cover 11x14, so was hoping for an anecdotal confirmation or dismissal.

Lachlan,

I share some of the same concerns, in that there is a lot of claims being made, and as Dan noted in the other thread often by those selling lenses.

The Internet contains a great many opinions and some facts, understanding what is opinion and what is fact can difficult, beyond what those who make the lenses and are prepared to put their claims in writing on data / spec sheets.

The result is we either test or go on hearsay. I have little time or surplus money available to photograph as-is, without investing in testing as well. Like many others I expect I will follow hearsay, but pay close attention as to who is talking.

Good luck,

Len
