Need to know suitablilty of lens described below for my use (above in this thread), with a Calumet 4 x 5 View A1- C.

Ilex - Calumet Caltar f/6.3 10" inch lens in No. 3 shutter. 254mm. Calumet Catalog 4656.

If the rail on the camera is 20" then you can get 1:1 life size with it, if the rails are 18" then it will be slightly less.

The lens is multicoated, in a good shutter and will make for a nice head and shoulders portrait lens if you throw in some diffusion.

this would be a very good table top lens.
