The Kalart rangefinder on my Century Graphic is
currently adjusted to a Schneider 105/4.5 Xenar.
I'm thinking of re-adjusting the rangefinder to a
Wollensack 65/6.8 Optar. I read the instructions at
this site and it doesn't seem like it would be too
difficult.

Can the Kalart be adjusted to work on the 65? The
change wourld be a rather large jump in focal
length from standard. Or am I better off using the
slower method of focusing via 105 and resetting to
a 65 focus scale on the track?
