I'm talking about fine focusing; the last few millimeters. If I were 7' tall with appropriately long arms, I might focus using the front standard.

The metal 8x10 is rear focus only. I always fine focus with the front standard as well.
Maybe that's why Keith placed the fine focus knob on the JMC810 at the rear. It's certainly easier to reach.
I remember how difficult it was for my shorter arms to reach the front fine focus knob from under the dark cloth when using a 450mm lens.
Doesn't seem to be a problem with the 4x5 or the 5x7 metal cameras, however.
