Shooting with a 150 on 8x10 is very wide angle perspective. If that's not how you normally shoot, then you might pass on the lens and just buy the camera. In any case, your subjects may dictate the format as much as anything. I started with 4x5 and then added 8x10, but YMMV. Jumping right into 8x10 with realistic expectations is very doable.
I know it's a simple question, but why are you interested in shooting LF?
