The 6x10 format is actually 8x10, with lenses that don't quite have the coverage for 8x10 (ultra-ultrawides). It's widely used by Clyde Butcher, so it's included here. For 6x10 and 12x20, only lenses known to be used by Clyde Butcher are included.
The tilt/shift columns indicate what focal length you need such that with stitching you could get the original framing. We assume the Canon lenses have a 67mm image circle (from the 17mm and 24mm press release). By pure geometry, for 12mm of shift the image circle has to be at least 64.6mm, and for 11mm of shift it has to be 62.7mm. == How to use these tables == First decide what format and what crop you like to shoot already, go to the corresponding section, then look for the column with the format you are interested in next and find the focal length. For example, say you like 50mm on full frame, and you like shooting in 4:3 aspect ratio. You are interested in trying out 4x5 large format. First go to "35mm full frame (4:3 crop)" section, then find the row with 50mm and look for the column with "4x5". You will find 198mm, so you need a 200mm lens. Another example, say you like 300mm on 8x10 and would like to shoot Fuji GFX medium format. First go to "Large format (8x10)" section and find the row with 300mm, then look for the column with "Fuji GFX". You will find that you need a 48mm lens. Alternatively, say that instead of Fuji GFX you want to shoot Hasselblad H5D-60 with the tilt-shft adapter. In the same 300mm row you found earlier, look for "HxD-60/100 (HTS)". You will find that you need a 40mm Hasselblad lens === Stitched images with Tilt/Shift lenses === Say you like shooting 90mm on 6x10, and want to get the same framing via stitching on full frame or medium format (doesn't matter) with full frame tilt/shift lenses. You go to the "Large format (6x10)" section, find the row with 90mm, and look for "Canon TS (12mm)". You will find out you need a 19mm TS lens. You either hope the Nikon 19mm TS lens has 67mm of image circle, or you go with the 17mm Canon.
