Hi,
I'd like to do some wide angle landscape work in medium format (6x6).

Will the Hitech 85mm system be large enough to avoid vignetting with say a
40mm (ish) lens? How wide could I go before having to consider 100mm?

Thanks

Go with the 100mm the outer diameter of your 40 is probably like 95 or
97mm if its like my Bronica, FWIW I temporarily tape my 100mm filters to
the lens instead,...its less problematic than getting a blasted holter
that does not vignette a lens that wide.
