I have a Calumet wide (12" rail) camera and have a 150mm lens on the way. I understand 150mm might pushing the length limits of that camera, so I'm thinking of building up a lensboard to push the lens out 1/2 inch or maybe more (like a recessed board in reverse).
Anyone see any problems with this concept? I'm surprised that there aren't any lensboards already made like this.
This camera holds the lens board about an inch behind the pivot points, so I'm thinking it might be a good idea in general to get medium focal length lenses pushed out closer to those pivot points.
Any suggestions or warnings appreciated.
...Mike
