My calculation is based on the coverage typically cited by manufacturers' of
this lens design.  Since you are probably making contact prints, your needs for
resolution may not be the same as in the original application of the lenses,
and the coverage may be somewhat larger by stopping down.

P.S.  If one stops down far enough, the lens design hardly comes into play and
one has a pinhole camera.
