Yes, it should even be easy.
My main (apart from economical) reason for not buying a lighter 5x7" camera
than my Technika III is that I need the large lensboard. Most of those
produced today use smaller lensboards, since they are basically 4x5" cameras
with bigger backs.
My lens is in a Compound V/12+5FS shutter, which has a diameter of 12cm or so.
The lens itself has a 82mm filter thread.
Since many 8x10" cameras use the bigger Sinar-type lensboards, this is no
problem. But mounting it on a lensboard which is actually smaller than the
shutter is a bit of a problem...
There's a picture of the lens, on my camea, held by yours truly, on f32.net.
The same picture, only easier to find, is at

might be more difficult to understand...
