Worked fine on the Zone VI 8x10 field camera because I could adjust the front standard to lean back towards the film plane. No dice with the Calumet. I've been looking for a recessed lensboard but I'm thinking that probably won't work to get the lens close enough to the film.
Anyone have any solutions to working with the Calumet and short lenses? Sure wish I hadn't dumped my previous system...
