I'm thinking of getting a 19th C. wide angle lens for my 8x10 to round out my kit. I know they weren't all that common and most are more than I want to pay. However, the wide angle RR lenses look pretty good, affordable, and are plentiful. I'm looking at lenses like 8 inch Darlot wide hemispherique, Busch wide RR 190mm, and so on. On the down side they seem to be f16 or so wide open. I start having trouble with focus at f8. Anybody using lenses like these? How are they to work with in the field?
