Let me try that again!

Kent, it doesn't look good. According to the info given on the mainboard about the Century:
The Century is thin enough to focus a 47mm WA. The limit of bellows draw is around 150mm for a non-telephoto lens. The 8" Tele Optar telephoto is a true telephoto, which means that even with its 203mm focal length, it has a short bellows draw of 180mm."

So, it seems a 250mm would be even longer, right? Furthermore, the rangefinder won't focus beyoud 135mm.

Might as well end with some good news. If you solve the extension problem, there is a focusing scale for that lens. Look for scale # 30881-32.
