My Rodenstock 35mm Apo Grandagon easily covers 6x12 with a couple of
mm to spare. I think the 35 AG is a little sharper than the 47 XL
although both are very nice. Without Centre filters both lenses are 
close to unuseable for full image area.

Unitl recently Robert White in the UK was the cheapest place to buy 
large format German lenses. I haven't checked lately, see
