Would this lens cover 8x10 ??

No I don't think so. looks like a APO lens for graphic reproduction. If manufacturer don't state that is "APO" then may be is just another 40º-50º angle of view standard lens for 4x5 format. The lens should have a similar size front and back element (symmetrical design).
i read that the IC is abt 290mm so you will have dark corners on 8x10 even w/o movements. has this lens been mounted with a shutter or are you going to use it as a barrel lens?
290mm is a lot of coverage for a 150mm repro lens. They are typically 4 element and the usable image circle is typically marginally more than it's focal length.
Yep, I had read about its reported IC as 290mm, but just thought it would be great if someone here might have actual experience with this lens to verify it. Having said that, even if it is marginally shy of the 100% 8x10 coverage, I figure it would still work great in 5x7 or 6x17. So I just went ahead to buy it anyway. Everything in picture for GBP 115. Not bad I think.

That looks like a extreme wide angle on 8x10. Hope your standards don't extend beyond 150mm at minimum position. Have fun!
At f9 on an A4 size ground glass, unless u have an extremely bright focusing screen, focusing and composing is not fun also leh....
Thanks all the'老'前辈for the experience talks and tips. I'm really a n00b in 8x10.
You are right that the GG on my V8 is quite dim for an f9 lens and probably needs a recessed lens board for 150mm. Maybe a 240mm lens would be easier. (Actually I was trying to find a Fujinon A 240mm, but it's getting rare and pricey these days.)
Btw, is the yanke bright screen any good?

I have a 7" Goerz Dagor and it is able to cover 8x10 when stopped down.
for 150mm, I think you still can do with 4x10....
you can have 2 shots on a single 8x10 sheet !!! wonderful.
The next widest option you can have should be at 210mm range.
Should be able to find lots of 210mm at the evil bay... cheap and good also...

We need a show yr 8x10 or bigger lenses thread. I am not much into wide lenses for my 810. I have from 14inches to 18 inches. Most are below usd300 and yet perform well due to the big negative.
