I have a couple -

A big Kranz Petzval (approx 480mm) fitted on my big Gandolfi Imperial (12x15)

And a huge Jamin/Darlot cone lens - I have made images in 16x20 with this one..

the biggest and the smallest... the small one is a Zeiss 100mm... like a pimple..

The Dallmeyer 6A lens that I use for 40x50cm collodion plates...

Actually a Rolleiflex is a great comparison! :-)

Below photo: Chamonix 045n 4x5 field camera, c.1862 Voigtlander Petzval FL=12 in., Annie the Cat. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the lens to the camera after the inspection is finished. (I think I need a bigger lens board.)

Great shot! I'm normally a dyed-in-the-wool optimist but.. er.. maybe you need a larger camera?

That's hilarious, like a mouse on a lion's back

Weight? Mount hole? Projection backwards? (I know, I know, it's purely academic...)

Weight is 8.5kg, mount hole about 22cm and back focus about 26". Mounted on this beauty:

Well, OK. My 24" f/6 10lb Aero-Tessar is at least big:

I didn't so much mount it as build a camera around it:

Here is my longest (but prob not my heaviest). Hermagis Aplanatic 47". With Leica II for scale. You'd need about a 10" board.

My Leitz EPIS 1,000mm F3.5 barrel lens weighs 42lbs. Glass diameter is roughly 12" ... would need to pull it out to measure it. Yes, I plan taking images with this one or other day and sooner than later.

I also have a PerkinElmer 36" F4, about same glass size but 200lbs without the shutter, just a ton of glass and metal and not that useable. Conversation piece ;-)

Rudi, y'r P-E monster is very useful. Surplus Shed used to have one. They used it as a coffee table.
