Overview

The F-452 75mm f/4.5 lens is a wide-angle lens for 4x5 format, offering 92-105° coverage depending on version. Optically, it delivers spectacular performance wide open with no additional mechanical vignetting, while the Rodenstock Grandagon-N variant provides high contrast and distortion correction, best at f/16-22. However, coverage may be too limited for movements on modern view cameras. Build quality varies; one user reported aperture blade issues from a drop. It suits aerial or press camera use but is less ideal for view camera movements.
