Seriously, I don't understand why using a sliding box camera to do this would require focusing twice. Please explain.
Re video, there are video-capable DSLRs and mirrorless digital cameras. I understand there are adapters for hanging these devices behind an LF camera. If what you want is to shoot video with a long lens, why won't this approach work for you? If you want to shoot video with the lens that started this discussion, why not cobble up or commission an adapter to hang it in front of a video-capable interchangeable camera?
