There's one of those obscure Blowfish lenses again.
I can't comment on the Fuji, but the Nikor 450M, as well as the 19" Dagor are IMHO about as good as it gets on 12x20. The 24" Artar would no doubt be a good choice as well but the bellows on my 12x20 (F&S) won't accomodate one.
What I'm trying to say is that the bellows length of your camera is something to consider when hunting for a lens for one of these giants.
Not that I suffer from "bellows envy" mind you!

Bellows will be around 700mm. My rail is 32" so the 24" should work. I just have to find one at a reasonable price.
Which 12x20 is this?
Its a hodge podge. The front standard, rail, and base for rear standard are from my cambo. The rear standard and bellows are from Richard Ritter. It may look silly but it will be solid and have every movement I will need. The only movement I am not going to have is rear rise and fall. Oh and I will be able to switch from horizontal to vertical fairly easily. As soon as I finish it I will post photos of it on here.
Cheers
Tim
