    real-world coverage at infinity of WA Apo-Nikkors?

    I know a lucky few with the 360mm version claim it covers 8x20, but does anyone have experience with the other focal lengths (150,210, 300)? My Nikon literature does not list coverage, either at 1:1 or infinity. I have a chance to get the 150 version and it would be wonderful if it covered 8x10

    Look here: http://www.galerie-photo.com/apo-pro...ikkors-en.html for Nikon's coverage claims.

    No way will the 150/8 WA Apo-Nikkor cover 8x10. Nikon claims it covers 60 degrees, a 150 that covers (just) 8x10 has to cover 90 degrees.

    Thank you, Dan. With the old search function I seemed to be able to find past posts like this, now it's almost better doing a Google search.
