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.
