Who says it covers 11x14?   I had a quick look at the circle covered by the
90mm f5.6 Super Angulon and multiplied it by 165/90 and it came out less
than the diagonal of 11x14 which is about 17inches.  I did not have time to
find real data for the 165mm but I had thought it a 10x8 lens. Maybe it
would cover 11x14 if you made a pinhole in the lenscap.PL
