Hello all

I've found that I've run out of image circle several times recently using my 150mm Apo Symmar with extreme rise and/or shift on 4x5. As I seem to be using both rise and shift a lot recently can you suggest an alternative, preferably affordable and obtainable, 150mm?

As they will inevitably arise as suggestions has anyone any views on the real comparison between the two Super Symmar 150's, the XL v the HM? On paper the image circle for the HM looks much worse, only an inch or so bigger than the Apo Symmar. Is this really the case or is the real image circle much larger? Any other comments on the comparison between the two lenses?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
