If I have 359mm of bellows draw, what is the minimum focus distance for a 300mm lens?

It may be easy to figure out but not for me.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I hope I get this right.

1/fo + 1/fi = 1/f

f = focal length
fo = object distance
fi = image distance (bellows draw)

About 1.8 meters to answer your question.

Thanks Eric. I got 1875.0 but didn't know what I had. Didn't know it was mm.
