Does the 75mm Tominon f 4.5 cover 4x5? Anybody know the image circle?

It is a macro lens for the Polaroid MP-4 system. On the MP-4 it will
cover 4x5 at magnifications between 2:1 and 4:1, is usable on cameras
with longer bellows up to 7:1.

At infinity it won't even cover 2x3. The one I tried on 2x3 at
infinity wasn't acceptably sharp (my subjective standards) in the
center of the field at f/16 and f/22, was much worse in the corners.
There are no inexpensive wide angle lenses for large format.

FWIW: The cheapest I have found are 90mm Angulons in busted shutters,
often available for $120 or so. If you have a Speed Graphic, with a
focal plane shutter it the camera, they are a good deal. Just jam
the shutter open or pull the shutter blades out with a pair of
vise grips (kidding, not much, though).

Neither is the ysaron 75mm. It covers 6X6 but at infinity isn't good, even
stopped way down. The 105mm is about the same thing, but does cover 6X9.
Both are -very- good for macro use!

How did you know what I was thinking? Oh well, back to the 90mm Angulon.

You're not the only person to suffer from wishful thinking.

Cheers,
