Drool, drool.  210 is my short 8x10 lens, and I love 
what 90 does to the world on 4x5, so I salivate at the 
thought of something this short.  And as the lens gets 
shorter we fortunately find the depth of sharp focus 
improving, so it's maybe not so necessary to part with 
massive cash for a larger image circle for corrections.

John - I should have mentioned, re our older slower 
lenses.  Close the dark cloth below the camera too, 
shut out all extraneous light so your eyes will open up 
more.  Poor man's fast lens.
