I've been familiarizing myself with the Wista SP I recently found on Craigslist. I'd like to use a 355mm G-Cleron as a longer lens, and I know that one can purchase a Wista 600mm bellows and extension for an SP that would enable me to mount this lens and focus at infinity.
To my question, does this work in practice? The tripod mount is well towards the rear of the camera, which means this lens (when mounted) would cantilever well out in front of the camera. At least, as 360mm range lenses go, a 355mm G-Claron weighs less than most.
What are members' experiences in using this bellows/extension combination with longer lenses?
