Ok, I'll put it on my to-do list and find some time to do it.
I'll do a still-life, or mannequin or something that won't move
between shots. Since the lens is mounted on a 4x5, I'll either
have to find a 120 roll back, or frame and cut the 4x5 down to
fit the MF format.

Or, does anyone have a MF camera body that will hold a 6" long,
3.5" diameter lens that weighs about 5lb, that they can loan me?
