Use case + rendering
The 90 SWD is among the best-regarded 4×5 wide-angles — direct competitor to the Schneider Super-Angulon 90/5.6 with comparable image quality and slightly different rendering character (Fujinon EBC tends slightly cooler than Schneider MC). The 250mm IC supports substantial architectural rise and shift.
