I think the image circle of the 24-Shift is 56mm diameter... its in the spec
sheet somewhere. that would be a 'fisheye' of a sort on a 6x6, or similar to
a full-frame (35mm) fisheye on the 6x9 film. Somebody once had info on a
24-Shift that had been modified to fit a 'home-made' 6x6 camera, and I
recall the images were described as a little soft around the extreme edges
of the 56mm circle.
