Longest lens on a Shen Hao Hz45

You will be looking for a telephoto design to provide you with a reduced film:flange distance and allow a longer lens for a given focal length. From http://www.largeformatphotography.info/lenses-long.html the 360 nikkor will work (F:F 261) the 500 will not (F:F of 380 mm). It would be reasonable to expect the 400 telephotos to work. Although the 480mm tele-optar will focus on a crown graphic so might work as your longest possible focal length I suspect you will be pushing it.

Nicholas,

www.keh.com has two Fujinon f8 400T's listed for under $500.

They ship internationally.

A telephoto design, this lens is large and weighs 600gms. When focused at infinity, it will stretch the bellows on your Shen Hao HZ45 to its limit.

However, it is the longest focal length that can be used on that camera with no added extensions.
