Does anyone know the difference in coverage between these two lenses and what is the largest format they can be used with?
Goerz Am. Opt. state the 7" Dagor covers 6.5"x8.5" at f16 and 10"x8" at f45
The Nikkor W 180mm covers 5x7 image circle is 253mm @ f22

I have a "Goerz Double Anastigmat Series III No.2", 7 inch focal length. According to its s/n it was made a year or so before the name "Dagor" came in to use. It does not cover 8 X 10. It was remounted in a Copal No. 1 shutter. Possibly this affected its coverage? (I don't know why that would be, though). If you do the trig/arithmetic using the claimed angle of coverage of 87 deg at f/45, a 7 inch Dagor should cover 8 X 10. Mine doesn't, as in the corners are not even illuminated.

Mine is a Goerz Dagor Ser. III, No. 2 and it is also mounted in a Copal 1 shutter. Sounds like if I want larger format coverage, I better stick with this lens. Thanks for the replies.
