A beautiful lens built of finest materials at a time of highest quality control at Kodak. But, If the OP thinks that he will be taking landscape photos with any normal lens on an 8x10 that is focused at infinity he will have a little learning to do (unless he is standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon.) I would suggest he look at some good depth of field software to see what to expect. I have the 12 and a 14 for my 8x10 but my landscape shots are often taken with a late 240mm Xenar (which the numbers will say does not cover 8x10 but stopped down and focused at an appropriate distance does an excellent job.)
