Rob,

I have a Fuji 210 W f5.6 lens. I use mine for landscape photography, and am reasonably happy with it. The lens is quite sharp from infinity to about 1/2 lifesize. It is prone to flare when the sun is within the composition. I also get some flare when the sun is stiking the front of the lens, but not within the composition. If you keep the lens shaded, I think that you'll be quite happy with it.

There's a tool online that will get you that information. The tool

allows you to search by focal length or image circle and will return

all the large format lenses that match. You then get a side-by-side

comparison of specs (image circle, angle, weight, shutter size etc.)

for all the lenses. There's also links to news items and reviews for

that lens.

The tool's called "Spec My Dream Lens" and is at

The Fujifilm website at http://www.fujifilm.co.jp/pindex/index.html

lists the image circle at 309mm. All the LF emulsions are also listed

on the film page (velvia,provia,astia are made in 5x7, 8x10, 11x14,

several different Neopan emulsions, NS/NC/NL 160 color neg

emulsions). BTW, to view this page, your computer probably needs

Japanese fonts to display the katakana.

Coverage for the Fuji 210 differs depending on the model (WS, NWS,or

CMW series). The most commonly found model on the used market is the

NWS. It has a coverage of 300mm at F22, 71 degrees, comes in a Copal

#1 shutter, wears 67mm filters, is 465 grams, and is EBC multi coated.

The previous model, WS, had more coverage (80 degrees). The most

recent model (CMW) has a coverage of 309mm at f22, or 72 degrees.
