[LargeFormat] how short is a rail

[Brock Nanson]

Just a regular board.  I really only did landscapes, so I didn't have to 
extend too far to focus.  I'll dig the gear out this weekend if I can 
remember to do so, and assemble it again.  I'm wondering now if 90mm was 
a happy coincidence or if shorter lens would also fit without 
interfering with the clamp.
