My theory on Wide Angles is the wider the angle of view the larger the
negative shoud be. Therefore, while I would love to have a compact 21f3.5 or
18f3.5, what I carry is a Brooks Veriwide 100, early model with 47mm f/8
Schneider Super Angulon. It covers 90 degrees on a true 6x9 (5.6cm X 9.2cm),
7 exposures per roll.
If I need wider than that: Rolleiflex with Rollei panoramic adapter and stitch
together in Photoshop or Photo Vista. This is much less expensive than a
Noblex, and with the 80mm lens, offers a better forground/background
relationships than the 50mm on the Noblex.
Just 2 cents worth.
