Dallmeyer Pentac 10" f2.9

I'm trying to find out more information on this lens and find someone that has used or owned one and so far google has given no information. I know there is a 8" version which is a bit hit and miss. This thing is huge

Any help would be great. I wanted to put it on my speed graphic 4x5 but its to big

What's the problem with mounting it? Won't go through the lens throat?

If that's it, one solution is to mount the monster in a cup-shaped adapter that attaches to the board. I believe this is essentially what the JoLo mounts for 7"/2.5 Aero Ektars are.

I have 2x3 Graphics, whose boards are tiny (2.5" x 2.5"), and have had the same problem with fat lenses. Skgrimes has made several cup shaped adapters for me to hold my fat lenses (100/2.5 Uran-27, 100/5.6 S.F.O.M., 4"/2.0 TTH, 12"/4 TTH telephoto) entirely in front of the lens board. You can read about them at http://www.galerie-photo.com/telechargement/dan-fromm-6x9-lenses-v2-2011-03-29.pdf As you'll see, there's more than one way to attach the adapter to the board.
