Re: [Largeformat] Coverage of Super Angulon 65/8.0

Hi,

I own a 65mm f8 SA, and yes, it can be used on a 4x5. It provides VERY
little room for movement at f16, but it does work. I suspect it would be
better with a centre filter, but at a cost of 2 stops (making f16 the
equivalent of f32).

While I prefer to use my 75mm f5.6, when it is necessary, the 65 is
invaluable, and given it's very small size, it is not a problem to carry,
