Subject: Coverage of 645 lensesDate: 2007-07-24 20:32:46From: John Thurston
Is there any reason to think a lens designed to cover a 6x4.5
area would be unable to also cover a 6x6 area?
My thinking says that the common lenses produce a circular
image. If the resulting image is at least 6cm wide, it must
also be 6cm high. the camera may be masking it but the lens
still produces it.
Having never actually tried a lens from a 645 system I can't
say for sure. Am I mistaken?
