I'm continuing to expand the stock of lenses I'm using for 8x10, mostly on the wider end. I'd pretty much decided I could afford a 210 Fuji (older style with 352mm of coverage), but as I looked at an old brochure on the G-Claron line of lenses I was struck (pretty hard) by Schneider's claim of 385mm of coverage for a 150 at f/22 !!!
I've seen folks post that Schneider under-reports coverage and this is certainly true for their more contemporary literature on this line of lenses, and the brochure was old (1986) and posted at Cameraeccentric, but 385mm image circle is huge.
Anybody have any info to share about using this lens on 8x10, stopped down and the coverage they can verify?
Also, I've read it fits directly into a #0 shutter ... Copal, Seiko, etc. True or false?
