I have been reading different (conflicting) things online about the 45CF with regard to wide angle compatibility. Is there anyone here who can answer the following questions from experience?
1. Can the 45CF be used with a 75 mm lens on a recessed board without having to drop the bed (V and H orientation) and without the bed appearing in the frame?
2. Can the 45CF be used with a 75 mm lens on a flat board but with a dropped bed? Does the front standard sit on the "home rail" for a 75 mm without a recessed board if its even possible?
3. What are the movements like with a 75 mm with or without a dropped bed. How tight are the bellows to allow for movement?
and finally:
4. Can the 45CF be shut with a toyo-linhof adapter and a small lens, or does the adapter board somehow get in the way?
