I got the older one with the writing on the inside. Covers 8x10 nicely! Enough movements for that lens for what I'll be using it for. Very pleased with it - it's tiny compared with my big 300mm fujinon.

I've just started using this lens properly and took it with me to Beechworth a few weeks ago. I just started developing my negatives today and it seems that all of them so far have vignetting, which is quite frustrating. I'm not sure what might be causing this. :? It was my understanding the IC covers 8x10 - most of the shots were taking around f/32 and f/45.

Doesn't seem to make sense.

Even the 180mm Fujinon SW covers 8x10, so the 210mm should as well.

Yeah, I've scanned in the negatives today and it wasn't vignetting that I was seeing, it was over development in the corners. So apparently I'm a bit out of practice in developing my negatives. Going to shoot a few test negs to practice on before I ruin any more of my good ones!
