Schneider 110XL does not cover 8x10, nor 4x10

Well, I'm quite embarrassed that I didn't catch this the first time I used this lens. Dan, and everyone else that said the 110XL would cover 8x10 are 100% correct - it DOES!

 

My friend uses his lens on a 4x5, so coverage is more than enough for his purposes. He has a step-up ring permanently mounted so that he can use filters without scratching the front element and this is what caused the vignetting. At f32 the 110XL fully covers 8x10! I took one shot with it (nothing great, it was raining) and will post a pix under a new heading to vindicate Schneider. This is an amazing lens; one that I will be getting soon.

 

Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions!
