Fast triplet with no aperture? probably a projection lens.
Coverage? I have a 145mm/f1.2 projection lens (on what was once a Speed-Graphic) that would barely do 6x12 at infinity...Not trying to sound negative or anything....

I've already purchased one They told me that they are guessing it has about 8 inches of coverage (from when they were checking out the lenses) , plenty for 4x5
Only problem though, is that it's larger across than any of my front standards! Will have to work something out, haha!

Put the monster in a sinar 8x10 and use it as a 4x5. That is to say, use it backwards - use the back of the 8x10 as the lens standard and the front for the ground glass.
Ooops - double posted - sorry

I have seen a couple of complete Cambo 5x7 cameras on eBay lately at what looks like a fair price. The back plate of the 5x7 is a bit more than 8.5 inches square. More importantly I suppose is that the opening inside the back is 6.7 inches square.
Now this is a real monster. Weight is over 3kg. DOF is so shallow it's barely unusable. A big and somewhat expensive magnifying glass
Some test shots on 8x10 with it for those who might be interested (hand held with the help of a friend on a 8x10 Linhof GT)
But a really high rez magnifying glass. The images look great - are you holding the lens?
