Lee,
Here's my 15" Cooke IIE 8x10 fitted to the Sinar p2. It dominates the p2 front standard and I designed a reinforced mount/adapter system to add rigidity that is actually necessary. Without the reinforced lens board, turning the knuckler could lead to other unintended consequences. You may have a free-moving knuckler but none of mine move that easily. In fact, this one had to be lapped so it would. Front standards on field cameras that are usually less robust would be even more problematic. I can also confirm as suggested by others that the same lens mounted on a Deardorff P8 studio camera with an 8x8 lens boards is a breeze to control and use.
