    Komura 65mm for a 4x5 Crown Graphic

    Would that be a good choice? Which type of lensboard would I need?

    depends on the shutter size. It's extremely wide choice for a Crown Graphic. I usually don't go wider than a 90mm.
    When I grow up, I want to be a photographer.

    you will have very little movement due to the compression of the bellows. 65 is very wide for a 4x5.

    I have a Komura 75mm that I use on my Super Graphic. It is a slightly retro-focus design and does not actually require extreme compression of the bellows. Perhaps the 65mm is also of similar optical design.

    Sorry, my lens is actually a 75mm...
