Thank you, Gentlemen!
Jim, your work is inspirational. I wouldn't be mucking about with these types of lenses if it weren't for you.

After years of 4x5 and 5x7, I'm new to 8x10 and this Wollensak Veritar 14" f/6 lens. First shots with it were in a dark room and weren't just soft, they were out of focus. I need to practice with more light available. This is the first successful shot: f/11 (still a good amount of softness), Intrepid 8x10 mkII, a bit of swing in the front standard, natural light, Bergger Pancro 400 in Pyrocat HD.

Thank you, David! 5x7 is a terrific format. I wish I had a 5x7 back or my field camera. My 300 Imagon doesn't really cover 8x10. As you can see the corners go super soft, but sometimes that's ok.

Looks good, super soft, with this lens. Dark corners, not so ok which is what I get with the 240mm version of the Imagon on 8x10. I'm getting a 4x5 reducing back for the Intrepid 8x10, but 5x7 really is my favorite format for size, aspect ratio and hauling convenience.
