Use case + rendering

The 90 NSWS is the upgraded modern compact 4×5 wide — gives the 90mm focal length at f/8 (lighter than SWD f/5.6) with multi-coating that handles backlit subjects substantially better than the older single-coated SW 90/8. A frequent buy for current Fujinon-system LF photographers.
