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.
