The Behemoth's Eye, Lenses

23-08-2004

Very few modern LF lenses have enough coverage to form an image on a 20x24 piece of film. The needed image circle at infinity for ULF shooting can be calculated by estimating the diagonal of the film size, from around 460mm in 11x14 and 7x17 to close to 800mm in 20x24.

The following table has been put together from various sources on the internet and is probably incomplete. It gives some inducation to the possible paths to explore in order to find lenses that can be used in ULF. The "type" colum means the following : cl= classic, Mod= Modern, Proc= Process Aero= Aerial photography lens, El= Enlarging lens.
