I went through all the posts, and did not see this lens referenced. Would a 4x5 Speed have enough bellows for a flange mounted 360mm Tele-Xenar lens. Russ

I have a 360 Tele-Xenar in a compound shutter mounted in a Speed lens board that works just fine with my Speed & Crown. It does go just about to the end of the rails, but will focus down to about 15 feet if I remember. Maybe 12 feet or so? Mine is a Linhof f5.5. I have the flange on the inside of the lens board which wouldn't make much of a difference... Nice lens...

I've used a Tele Xenar with my Speed Graphic and I drop the bed, pull off the bellows and re-attach them to the front of the rails. This gives me enough draw to get some nice results with that lens but it's still not enough for my Plaubel Tele Peconar (? focal length).
