  • Coverage

    - While designed for 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 cameras, it covers the 4x5 format, but with limited movements like tilt or shift. 

    Ideal Use

    Shutter

    - It's commonly found in a leaf shutter (like Compur) with a range of speeds. 

    Handling

    - The lens is relatively compact and light, making it a popular choice for handheld 4x5 press cameras. 

    Historical Context

    - It was a popular lens for press photographers due to its wide-angle perspective and ability to capture a broad area, allowing for cropping.
