Would a 300 F5.6 Fujinon W Copal lens be a good choice for my 1894 8x10?

If you use the 300 F5.6 Fujinon W Copal you will have 420mm coverage at f22 at infinity. This means 25% more coverage than minimum requirement for 8x10 or room for lots of movement for perspective control without vignetting.

The Fuji 250 f/6.7 has an image circle of 398mm -- just to compare it with the Fuji W 300mm.

Just be aware that the more recent Fuji 250 f/6.3 only has an image circle of 312mm.

I have one. I love it. Sharp as a tack.
