Does the Crown Graphic accept 65mm lenses well and still allow for a full or nearly full range of movements? I have never operated a 4x5 camera, but what I have picked up on is that folding bellows on some 4x5s become too compressed to physically allow for the full range of tilt/shift of the front/rear standards relative to one another. I read a few posts about people using 65mm lenses with Crown Graphics, but it was unclear if they meant it could be used with all movements.
If worse comes to worse, can you swap out the folding bellows on a Crown Graphic for a bag bellows or, as I've found them called, wide angle bellows? Just something that doesn't bind up but also isn't so loose that it falls in the way of the image circle between the front and rear standards... unless that's not really an issue on 4x5s - just something I thought could cause problems with loose cloth instead of than neat folds.
