The difference between the coverage that these lenses provide isn’t immediately obvious by the focal lengths, as most of us are not familiar with what these numbers mean in the context of a wide-format camera such as this.
Here then are three frames shot from the same location‚ a view of Maggie Valley in western South Carolina, taken in October, 2000.
