This has been a great lens for me. However, I want to go wider and can't afford to keep this one as well. It's in spectacular condition.The pictures don't do justice to how it really looks. No issues. This is the single coated version that covers 8x10, with an image circle of 352mm. This gives a handsome amount of fall/rise or shift with just enough coverage for usefull tilt and swing. It projects a bright image on the ground glass, and of course is all it's been reputed to be with regard to image quality. It comes with the retaining ring of course. Copal shutter is in fantastic condition. I'll sell for $425 + shipping + PayPal fees.

Does the multi-coated version not cover 8x10?

That is correct. The Fujinon-NW 210mm f5.6 (the N does not appear on the lettering) has an image circle of 300mm. It's distinguished from mine by the lettering on the outside of the front barel, by the larger filter ring diameter (67mm for NW vs. 58mm for W), by the coating, and most significantly by the coverage. I know the NW version is used for 8x10 but the W version I have is actually useable on 8x10

The multi-coated Fuji 210mm f/5.6 *just* covers 8x10 straight on. Even so, it was my 8x10 wide lens for a few years until I bought one of these. This older version with a larger image circle is an excellent moderate wide angle for 8x10: sharp and contrasty. I'll have mine as long as I shoot 8x10: it's just too useful a lens to get rid of.
