You need a much larger top-hat extension, it should be possible to make something fairly easily, alternately if you have a Linhof/Wista conversion board there's Chinese Top-hat extenders available Linhof/Wista fit that should do the trick, assuming the lens is small enough to fit.

I have two Ebony extenders I can stack to 70mm which is just about what I need. However it then becomes unwieldy and likely will stay home. I will just have to take this as lesson learned. I should have measured the bellows before I bought the lens but guess I had too much faith in Ebony specs. I have a 5x7 Deardorff so the lens will get used.
Sorry to read this... Great lens on a 5x7, though.

...USABLE LENSES - 90-360mm....

MIN/MAX BELLOWS EXTENSION 105-400mm
Maybe I misunderstood the specs. Maybe the listed max extension of 400mm is the measurement of the bellows when it is at max rise, i. e., Pythagorean theorem?
A great camera, but not intended for what you propose.Originally Posted by Rayt
I would take Ebony's own words as my guide:
SLW810
A super-lightweight non-folding view camera, specifically designed for use with wide-angle lenses.
USABLE LENSES 90-360mm
Sounds like a perfect excuse to buy a second camera.
A less than perfect solution would be to get a telephoto lens (with a much shorter flange focal distance than the focal length) that covers 8x10. Wanna sell that Fuji 450mm?
Yes, possibly do an exchange for a Nikon 360/500 T ED convertible tele. Very high quality optics with really good contrast, a feature that is very important with tele lenses.
