One of the things I like about the PDML is how a post of a medium
format color nature photography shot can evolve into a discussion of
techniques used by photojournalists in the B&W, Speed Graphic era.

flashbulbs and a set focus distance of ten feet."
Yep. That's more like it.

I have usually seen it attributed to WeeGee, which of course would be
logical, given the type of photography he did. That of course
probably means it is inaccurate. <G>
f/8 sounds a little inadequate for depth of field on a 4x5 camera,
what is what Weegee shot. I'm thinking it was more likely someone who
used 35mm.
