Hi. If the 110mm XL is still available, I’m interested. Looking for a really wide lens with coverage for 5x7… thanks.

It might help you on your sale to add that it does cover 8x10!!
Barely!
I have tried it, and although it does not fully cover, with corners losing light quickly, at f/32 I get a super interesting effect on that format.
With a center filter, it improves, but I have not been able to fill those corners.
I might be an idiot, but it is a lot of fun to play with it.

So the price went up from $1250 to $1600? If so, you should modify your original posting.

Image circle is 286mm. So not covering 8x10. Remember, while ithe edges of image circle are perhaps sharper, when stopped down to F32, the diffraction kills the enlargeability.

Of course anyone's definition of GE(Good enough), may allow for larger or smaller prints. The lens does Ok with many digital backs, though.

Ok Rod, I understand your concern about my comments on 8x10. You are an honest guy and do not want to make false claims.
Let me rephrase it: This is a great lens for 4x5 it also BARELY covers 8x10, at f 32 you get about 80% of an 8x10 negative covered with the corners not getting anything.
I enjoy experimenting with it since it is a super wide lens for that format, it does not fully cover but , If you buy it,and you also have an 8x10 I guarantee you will have fun with it.
How is that for a clarification?
Good luck with your sale,
Gaston
