I had a 65mm F8 Caltar (II?) lens that I used on a Speed Graphic.
I had to keep the front standard on the part of the rails that are 
inside the camera body, and then drop the bed to get it out of the
image. The rails are linked, so focusing was no problem.
No movements were possible, but the film was fully covered, and with
very little drop-off at the edges. I never used a center filter.
The lens was tack sharp, edge-to-edge. Eventually it was stolen from
my car in New York City.
