Now I know why I have a LF camera. Thanks for reminding me and setting such high standards.

90xl is correct. You actually need to get up close and personal to your subject because of the extreme wide angle. I know the specs don't call for this to cover 8x10 but stopped down, with no movements it just scratches the corners. I usually crop in just a smidge to remove some vignetting and color fringing on the corners. I prefer to use my Nikor 120sw and usually find it to be wide enough but once in a while you need to get really wide!
I have a couple more 90xl images, let me dig another one out and post it.
As promised here is one more with the 90xl on my Ebony slw810. I did this with a circular polarizer and Velvia 50. using the polarizer was a real bitch because it bands the sky on such a wide angle lens. I use the lee 95mm adapter which attaches to the barrel instead of threading on keeping the filter from causing additional vignetting.
f32 1 sec
I was so close to this weathered old tree I could almost touch it from behind the camera.
Outstanding image Mr. H.!
