The sinar site lists the extension for F1/F2 with the "multipurpose" bellows as 4cm to 45cm. B&H list the minimum extension with the normal bellows as 83mm.
Is GG set back from the bellows so that minimum bellows extension is not the minimum ffl you can use?
Is the multipurpose bellows the same as the normal bellows, i.e., is there only one normal, as opposed to bag bellows?
Can I use a 90mm with a ffl of 94mm with the normal bellows and get full movements?
How about a 75mm with a ffl of 83mm and somewhat more limited image circle?
How about a wider lens like a 55mm with a ffl of 70m and very little movement at all?
I want to use this in the field, so changing bellows to change lenses is not very attractive. I am most concerned with the 90mm and the normal - it is the widest I own now, and the main reason for wanting a monorail. I would really like to be able use it with the normal bellows.
