Q: 5. With 147mm of travel to focus, I'm thinking that the Nikor W 150mm F5.6 S LF lens is just a tad too long. Is that correct?

A: Unfortunately if you are looking to use a Nikon F mount lens, with an F mount body it is not possible to do so and maintain infinity focus. Doing so would turn the Actus into a strange set of "extension tubes" that would not be a functional solution. I would instead recommend Mamiya RB/RZ lenses and large format lenses 100mm and greater for maximum compatibility.
