Data Sources

Large format lens specifications are compiled from two reference datasets published at largeformatphotography.info:

• Michael K. Davis (2002) — Modern large format lenses from Schneider, Rodenstock, Nikon, and Fujinon with image circle, weight, filter size, and shutter data for 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 formats.
• Michael Gudzinowicz — Older and vintage large format lenses including Goerz Dagors and Artars, Kodak Ektars, Sinar Sinarons, Calumet Caltars, Computar, and earlier-generation Schneider, Rodenstock, and Fujinon designs.

Camera, 35mm/medium format lens, film stock, and technique data has been compiled by the photographyFYI editorial team from manufacturer specifications, historical records, and community contributions.
