What mounting hole to use for which lens on my Chamonix 45N-1 Classic

[sperera]

Just received my beautiful Chamonix 4 x 5 camera! Dumb question but which mounting hole do I use for each focal length of lens. I have (are coming) a 65mm; a 90mm; a 150mm and a 210mm lens. The camera does not come with a manual or any instructions. I have added numbers for you to help me with hahah. Also when do I move (A) to extend the length of the bellows?
Thanks everyone!

Wide lenses would be in the back, 5, closer lenses further extended. I say test it out see which hole lets you focus to infinity. Never used a 65 on mine, 90mm is already pretty compressed. Not sure if you might need to pull the back out, or a recessed lens board in order to focus.

Answers: the 150mm lens goes on the middle hole 3. Longer lenses such as the 210mm I have go on hole 2. 90mm lens goes on hole 4(?). The 65mm lens to go on the middle hole 3 or hole 2 and bring the back standard forward to get infinite focus so the base plate does not appear on the frame. I will need a wide angle bellows or recessed lens board for the 65mm lens.

Hugo Zhang offers great customer service by the way, responds fast on email!

I have the 45F-2 which is assume has similar construct and this is what I use:

250mm - hole 2
125mm - hole 4
90mm - hole 5

Hugo Zhang confirmed what I noted...which is what he said in the first place haha.
150mm hole 3
210mm hole 2
90mm hole 4
65mm hole 3/2 and move the back forward.
