Same camera, same focal length - same or different coverage?

[Rui Morais de Sousa]

Olá Nelson,
Já respondi noutro post, aqui deixo mais uma palavrinha simples a ver se me "encontras"... Realmente, neste nosso pequeno país, somos poucos a practicar grande-formato... Fico contente de te ver por aqui. É bom saber que não sou o único "maluco"... Não leves a mal, estou óbviamente a brincar!

Mr. Doremus Scudder,
I very much enjoyed your explanation, which shows that you really like to help (and know how to...).
I didn't know you or your work, and I must say that I was very pleased to look at your site. Congratulations! Your work and personality are very interesting.
Very rewarding site to look at and read.
Cheers,
Rui

As an example: comparing the Schneider Super-symmar XL Aspheric 5,6/210mm and the Schneider Apo-symmar-L 5,6/210mm. They have the same focal length but different angles of view.

Your use of the jargon is wrong. All lenses of a given focal length have the same angle-of-view for a given format. They may have different angles-of-coverage however, which varies with the design of the lens in question.

So, Bruce, I'd get as good results on 2x3 with my 105/2.8 MicroNikkor AIS as with my 101/4.5 Ektar? Are you sure? Did I misunderstand what you wrote?

Cheers,

Dan
