Will this lens fit comfortably on the Shen-Hao? Did some searching here but couldn't find the answer. Wondering about the size of the rear element in regards to mounting it and movements using the standard bellows.

Muchas gracias.

Yes, it will.

The rear element is 77mm in dia. It will just fit through the round opening in the front of the Shen Hao (Linhof Tech size).

As far as movement capability, the lens throws a huge image circle. Better suited for 5x7 or 8x10. It's a tight fit inside the bellows of the Shen when raised, lowered, or swung.

Check out the Fujinon f5.6 125CM-W

Thanks, Gem. Will check that Fujinon out. I was reading though about the Nikkor also barely covering 8x10 and thought it might make for some crazy wides on my new 8x10 and do double duty.
