I think everyone has supplied pretty good answers. Which lens is going to be the caveat. I have a Rodenstock 75mm (can't remember which model), but it folds up inside a crown Graphic.

A couple of you have me wondering if it's worth potential damage to figure out how to leave a lens "safely" attached to a Chamonix 45N1

The Crown Graphic was my first 4x5 in 2003. Now I shoot with a Toyo 45A or a Burke & James [combo 5x7+ 4x5 back]... but I still have that Crown Graphic. For me it's the "Timex of field cameras"...takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' It's got to be over 50 yrs old and does the job.
