Bradley,
If I were to build a large format camera for a lot of different lens, I
would make it with at least a 6" lens board. I had an old Calumet 4X5
camera that had 4" lens boards. While it is nice to have a small lens
board most of the time, if you want to use a wide angle lens with a
recessed lens board than you will have a lens mounted into an area so
small that it makes it hard to adjust the lens.
I would also build it so I could change bellows easily and build it with
a Bag Bellows as well as a normal bellows.
I do have a Bag Bellows kit for sale if you are interested.
