And since most of these bellows have leaf shutter lenses on
them, you can do double duty using this as a high speed fill
flash lens. Choose one with X sync and 1/500 shutter. Hold your
focal plane shutter open on B with a locking cable release and
use the leaf shutter for fill flash opportunities in bright
outdoor shots. The medium format folders may have lenses with a
large enough image circle.
