Hey everyone! - So I have somewhat of a silly question but I just want to see what you all think. I have a 7 1/2 inch Kodak Ektar F4.5 serial O-EI 1332 (not a wide field and not a commercial ektar). I currently use a Kodak Master View 8x10 camera. I know that this lens is not supposed to be used with the 8x10 format. But if I'm focused on my subject that is only say 7-15 foot away do you think this lens would cover the 8x10 format at that distance? Every time I mount it on the KMV and focus it to something 7-15 foot away (or even closer) there seems to be pretty good illumination across the entire 8x10 ground glass. Are my eyes deceiving me? I'll probably end up just doing some test exposures to get to the bottom of this, but I'm wondering what your feelings are for using this lens as an 8x10 lens at these closer distances?

Thank you for you thoughts in advance!
