At full extension, the focus is about 8" from the lens.
The only photos taken with this camera were made using a 120 roll-film back; film transport and light leak issues compromised the results.
For architectural images the camera can be set level with a spirit bubble and conveging verticals removed with the rising front. The key element is that the plane of the film is parallel to the plane of subject.
