Yeah... the Rodenstock Grandagons have lots of coverage. The 55/4.5 fully covers a 4x5 neg. I always use a center filter with it though. The corners fall off a lot, but they are not vignetted. The 75 covers with lots of room to spare and I sometimes use a center filter - but not normally.

A 55mm?! Boy, I have a 155mm for my 8x10's, and I thought that was wide. Does 55mm
actually cover? There was an article in View Cam a few years ago about a 75. Can't
remember what it was, but in the images it actually seemed to vignette two edges just a
hair. Not that it would bother me, but it makes me wonder how anybody can get a 55mm
to cover 4x5. Amazing. Jealousness-making. I'm going to have to keep an eye open for
one of THOSE.
