Richard was talking about the 12" Dagor not covering 12X20, not Dagors of
all focal lengths!! Covering 12x20 should be pretty easy, at least in
theory, for most 14", 16 1/2" and 19" Dagors. In fact, I have seen both 14"
and 16 1/2" specimens that *did* not cover 12X20. Unfortunatley, and for a
variety of reasons, you can not assume that a given Dagor will cover as
much as some of the stated literature. Some do, but others cover less.
