Why not use view camera lenses ?
End of focusing problems !

Presumably using a monorail (Ive a spare 120 Arca for sale) will allow use of non camera
dedicated lenses for studio use where the camera can be set for a long exposure and the
lens fired independently .
Ive used My medium format scan back on my monorail by mounting the Hasselblad body onto a
panel with the scanback on the Blad.
Cumbersome but workable.
If I had a need for this more often Id make up a dedicated panel but this way framing and
focusing is much easier.
I have a Nikon mount on a Sinar board which takes my D100. Using my Linhof selected 120mm I get an amazing result from the D100. Amazing foresight when I bought it from Mr. Cad 7 years ago even if I do say so myself! This is the first time I've ever used it:-)
Cheers. Patrick.
