Using the Schneider 75mm f5.6 MC Super Angulon

I'm using this borrowed lens on an Horseman LS 5x4.

I shot a couple of sheets of 5x4 Velvia 50 this morning. Got the transparencies processed up the road at The Vault Imaging Lab.

I'm very pleased with the results. I didn't use a center spot filter. There is a little darkening in the corners. I used an aperture of f16. Very sharp. Little bit softer to the edges. No movements used.
Can see some distortion creeping in but minimal.

If any of you want to share a few tips on using this lens I'd be very grateful.
