The 63 is a bit short for 6x6 negs.  It was conceived as a lens to cover
35mm with some room to spare, thereby allowing the center of he lens to
cover the neg.  That gives more even illumination over the neg, or so the
old logic goes.

Get a 75, 80, 90, or best yet a 105 lens.
63.... 35mm or 4x4cm (127 film)
75... 6x6
80... 6x6
90... 6x7 +
105 .. 6x9

Can someone tell me if the EL Nikkor 63 mm covers 2 1/4 x 2 1/4?
How much does it cover?
