What do you wish you could find, or what do you want to see for LF users?

a)

A LF photographer,other than an aerial photographer, who shoots wide
open, or nearly so. Heresy?

I've been playing with just that using an 8X10 and a 300mm heliar. Just got
this lens sorted out (diaphram was messed up on a sample I could afford),
my other attempts at wide open shooting weren't pretty, they were all done
with tessar clones. Seems many modernish LF lenses have terrible bokeh.
Everyone seems to want the "f64" type shots out of LF, to do anything else
seems to require looking at the older lenses? The heliar seems to fit this
bill as the test shots I did with it look nice, now to find some
interesting subjects to point it at!

Another lens I'd like to play with is a verito, I'd guess it probably has
nice bokeh as well? Any other ideas to try?
