Large Format forum has specification charts for lenses. It has the image circle for each lens as well for comparison. That might help you.

This is clipped from a 1937 Schneider brochure for their Angulon lens:I didn't find an Angulon of any focal length shorter than 120 mm on that chart, nor on the linked one for "older lenses" -- but every other reference I've seen makes it appear the 90 mm f/6.8 Angulon covers 4x5 with no margin, but must be stopped down well to compensate for field curvature.
Are there ways to used certain cameras on a 4x5 to get vignetting and ye ol timey effects? Im guessing those would be ones without complete coverage.
Do the old brass latern lens fits the lens boards on graflex?
According to the Schneider wayback, the f/6.8 90mm angulon covers 154mm @ f/16.

Since you've been blocked (ignored, I suppose he/she meant) by the OP, Dan, I'll quote you since this is all great advise that really needs to be readed and heeded!Vignetting? Practice lens abuse, use a lens that won't cover the format.
"ye ol timey effects?" Futz around with film and processing, try aging b/w prints artificially. Old lenses won't do.
"graflex?" Graflex Inc.'s, also predecessors' and successors', nomenclature confuses everyone. To avoid passing the confusion on, please say "Graphic" when you mean a press camera made by Graflex and say "Graflex" when you mean a SLR mabe by Graflex.
With enough money and effort, nearly any plausible lens can be mounted on a Graphic lens board. Putting any old lens on a Graflex isn't always possible. Too short a focal length and the lens won't clear the mirror, too long a focal length can't be focused to infinity.
… and quite varied expectations of performance over the years, many associated with usage context changes.I think I see what's happening -- there are significant differences in the coverage, build quality, and image quality of the 90/6.8 Angulon over its production run of 35+ years, from pre-War to the 1970s.
A decent Crown Graphic would be like shooting a Leica compared to a box camera and can certainly handle most of the jobs your asking of it..The GRAPHICS are utilitarian professional cameras that offer all of the functionality required for basic LF photography.
Other cameras offer different, or additional, functionality that serve other LF needs.
You will, of course, need an appropriate hat!Time to get off the porch and run with the big dogs!

Prices still aren't too bad f you shop around

I have been using a Schneider Angulon 90/6.8 for several years on 4x5. It will be shocked to learn it can't cover the format.

Now to find a hat!
yea. but you wouldn't need a dark cloth if you were wearing a 10 gallon!BTW, it doesn't have to be a Weegee style fedora -- a Walter White pattern porkpie will work, too. I'd tend to avoid the ten gallon Stetsons, however -- they might get in frame with a 90mm on 4x5...
