I am considering a move into LF Photography, but I'm having some trouble decidin g which lens to start out with. I was considering a "kit" system, and most seem to come with a 135mm as a sort of standard. I've seen that the 135mm is a relati vely WA, and would offer some versatility, and then I see in the "lens compariso n chart" on this website that the lens will not adequately cover the [5x7] forma t. I also see that wider and longer lenses will?? This doesn't make sense to me. When I look at actual lens specs, the image circle grows pretty much directly i n proportion with the focal lenth of the lens, as well it should. It also seems like cropping would be pretty routine in this format anyway, so why should cover age make that much difference? Anyone who could shed some light on this, and mak e this transition to "real" photography any easier for me would have my sincere thanks.
