[LargeFormat] Uncle who?/Elgeet 4.5

[LNPhoto]

Well I can' only give you theory.  I too have an Elgeet 10" f4.5 in 
military (but not Scottish Higlander)
garb

It's designated as an LE-2, the same as the 10" tele optar.  both use a 
negative element to s t r e t c h the image to large coverage and then 
use the center, thus giving magnification.  I haven't chucked this in 
my Doodledorf, but I know the 15" tele will cover 8x10.....or should I 
say "illuminate"  There's big difference in the circle of illumination 
and the circle of good definition, or good coverage.  Teles for the 
most part illuminate a lot but don't expect dagor sharpness in the 
corners.
