l typically focus about 2/3 way into the scene. Found that gives me the best sharpness thru out. Also typically at f/32, again, for me, it gives me the best overall sharpness thru out.

I want the 8x10 for among other things, contact printing (portraits/architecture) Yes, I plan to make prints at 32x40 and larger digitally, in the dark room nothing bigger than 32x40 (but more of the panoramic type) Bigger yes, and on back packing trips would not bring it, but my 4x5 instead which has proven excellent. I also want to make portraits that are in the 16x20 range (have had a few inquire about that) and I have made several as well, digitally printed though. Looking like lens/s will be over 120mm which I am good with, especially if it minimizes light fall off among other things.
