				| I removed the front elements but cannot seem to focus on anything. Should I be able to focus using the 265mm? Am I doing something wrong? |  |

				| yeah you should.  remove the front cell, extend the front standard about 11" away from the ground glass and then start to play with the focus.  This is a 10.5" lens but the rear nodal point (where you're supposed to measure from) is quite aways behind the front standard (I'm guessing an inch). |  |
