Hello

I recently purchased a Cooke Speedic in the far less common 9.25"/f2.5 focal length. I have several of these in the 162mm/f2.5 length mounted on Graflex Cs and on a Speed Graphic.

I can put the big Cooke on a Graflex 5x7 Reflex I have, or I'm thinking about looking for a Graflex Speed in 5x7-there's one Ebay right now, but it's WAY too much $$$.

They're wonderful lenses with a look that's not that common and I'd like to be able to use it to it's best advantage. Are there any other bodies or combinations that I should consider or look into?

The lens covers 5x7, that's it. And I think it might be a bit long for a 4x5, plus I already have other speed portrait lenses for that focal length so I'd like to head towards a bigger plate.

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
