Well I can' only give you theory. I too have an Elgeet 10" f4.5 in
military (but not Scottish Higlander)
garb
It's designated as an LE-2, the same as the 10" tele optar. both use a
negative element to s t r e t c h the image to large coverage and then
use the center, thus giving magnification. I haven't chucked this in
my Doodledorf, but I know the 15" tele will cover 8x10.....or should I
say "illuminate" There's big difference in the circle of illumination
and the circle of good definition, or good coverage. Teles for the
most part illuminate a lot but don't expect dagor sharpness in the
corners.
