Image circle of 55mm/panorama with AP67

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread

Finally I finished the lensboard for my Speed Graphic 4x5" camera with focal plane shutter (visit Graflex.org). I mounted a half macro ring bayonet on this board, so I can use my 67 lenses on 4x5". My first attempt is a photo of my home town, with the 4.0/55mm. The image circle is about 10cm, so it does not cover 4x5". I enlarged the middle strip to get a panorama photo (visit http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=239801&size=lg). The edges left and right are somewhat manipulated, are blurred due to light fall off and deminished image quality near the edge of the circle. I think the 7 cm of the AP67 is about the maximum quality range of this lens. It is possible (and fun) however to make a picture with a wider angle of view. The print is very sharp, and the lesser edges are not noticed by a casual viewer.
