Wide angle soft or diffuse focus lenses to cover 8x10?

[Dan Dozer]

So - I got an old Ilex projection petzval lens from Jim Galli many years ago that had an image circle barely large enough for 4 x 5. When I took the lens apart and used either the front or rear elements individually, the image circles got much larger with each and both work great for 8 x 10. Both give a soft focus look - one is about 9" focal length and the other is about 12".

I think I can help. My 10 1/2 in SF lens will cover 8x10 format . PM me if you are interested so we can discuss for what you need. Best.
