I recently acquired a Schneider Symmar 210mm lens for my Graflex Crown Graphic I bought a few months ago.
This is the lens I am talking about: https://www.keh.com/256611/210-f5-6-symmar-s-mc-copal-bt-42-mt-4x5-lens
After getting the corresponding lensboard for the Copal 1 Shutter, I mounted the lens but I was quite surprised that the focus is very offset.
I can't focus closer than to 5m distance, thats at max bellows extension.
Is there something I am missing as I am very new to 4x5 photography.
Thank you all for your help.
