<<I think you need to do a little geometry and you'll see this is much less a problem than you think. The line from the edge of the film to the apex of the lens will only be impinged with an extremely large amount of shift. More than your lens is likely to cover as other posters have suggested. >> I agree that the rear box may present a minor problem. The depth of the rear box may present some limitations on how the camera collapses, protection of/interference with the bellows, etc. I think the bigger concern is the size and shape of the bellows relative to the front standard. A tapered bellows collapses better but this requires a smaller front standard which limit lens size, addition of a Packard shutter, etc., depending on your ultimate use of the camera, lens focal length and extension, and so on. I'd worry more about the front end. Joe _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
