I'm trying to get an 8x10 kit together and in the interest of economizing on lens selection, I was considering using my schneider 300mm lens with 5x7 and 8x10.
They will be separate cameras and the 5x7 camera has a rail length of 52cm, will this be sufficent for half length and head and shoulders portraits with the 300mm on 5x7?
I guess I could look for a longer rail if needs be, but I'm not sure the bellows would stretch. Is there a formula or something to work this out. I don't have the 5x7 camera to hand, otherwise I'd just check it
thanks
