: Hi!It kind of curious that the 80mm Zeiss Plannar made for the XL is just covering 6X7cm and that the 58mm Grandagon made for the XL will cover 4X5?The Plannar design was pretty bad for covering I guess.
But what you lost in covering power, you gained in speed-- from 2.8 vs 5.6 is a lot. Also the Planar was designed in the late 19th century while the Grandagon was post WWII
