I will probably make my own lens boards for the Osaka from sheet metal to save some money and then if...

I've read the 300mm should focus to about 10-12ft at max extension.

I've bought 3 lenses for my new large format setup. They are a 90mm f8 nikkor sw, a 150mm f6.3 fujinon w, and a 300mm f9 nikkor m.
