Probably the sensible path is to use it as a barrel lens as I had originally intended. A tad longer or shorter on the exposure wouldn't matter much and my watch and reaction time would probably match the shutters accuracy anyway. I got the lens back from Grimes last week and haven't used it yet but yesterday a B&W night image with the 81x10 to 4x5 reducing back came to mind and I'm waiting for the right conditions: no clouds or fog.
