I'm hearing you, Frank. Perhaps you can answer one question for me. I have a Fujinon CMW-210mm/f5.6 that I used for 4x5. The coverage is 308mm, just 4 short of what it takes to cover 8x10 at infinity. Would it be usable for 8x10 at close range without movements, as a lens a bit wider than my 240 for tight spaces? I was thinking of trying it but wanted to ask someone first.

Yes. The image circle grows larger in proportion to the amount of focus extension, so you can actually have quite a bit of movement if you're working really close. I've taken 8x10 snaps at close range with my 180 Apo-Sironar-S, and even on one occasion at macro range with my 135 Apo-Symmar.
Have fun!
I'm happy to hear that, Oren :-) That means the lenses I was using for 4x5 such as my 150 APO Sironar-S will be usable for extreme close-ups. Thanks for your help.
