I ran some tests with non-covering lenses and paper negatives last week...have to build up my back's seals a bit, as I had a light leak, but otherwise it worked flawlessly!
The lens is now (not last week) a 240mm Schneider Symmar-S f5.6 on a Copal 3. I expect my film to arrive tomorrow, but if it doesn't it will be paper negs again.
P810 homebuilt monorail 8x10, non-collapsing. 155mm (recessed) to 305mm lens range in the homebuilt track and bellows. Revolving (by removal) back, front rise/fall, swing, tilt. Back standard focusing for wide angle shooting. Mahogany and red oak construction, 3 partial weekend build time.
