    I saw that, but since it is 35mm and I do 8x10 contact printing only, I am not sure how I could use this. I don't have an enlarger. Am I overlooking something?

    Defocus what?

    I am making 8x10 paper negs in the camera and then contact printing with a regular light above the workbench.

    It's likely just a shutter difference, I'll check that excellent Fuji resource link.
