I picked up a Bausch and Lomb 158mm Micro Tessar large format macro lens though I haven't had it shipped to Thailand from the US yet. Does anyone know the coverage of the coverage of this lens? Has anyone had any experience shooting with it or any other large format macro?

For shooting LF macro, I've had pretty good luck shooting with the Schneider 210 mm APO, something else (super symmar?) but the generation prior to the XL series. It is not a macro lens, but things have been fairly sharp to 1:1.5 up to 11x14 in print. Eventually, I'd like to get a dedicated LF macro lens, but that is simply not an option for me right now.
I also used a Nikon 90 mm f9 (non-macro) to 4:1, but that was fairly recently and I haven't sent that film out yet.

I've never heard of that lens, much less used it.
