Leonard... I think this might be the web page you are looking for... (
http://www.horsemanusa.com/lens_list.html) It appears hidden away on the Horseman USA website.
I assume all of the data published refers to using lens boards available from Horseman. There was someone (once upon a time) in the USA who made special recessed lensboards for the VH that allowed lenses down to a 58XL to be used. I managed to find one of these, and subsequently had a deeper recessed board made for the 47XL by a machinest. I had to also have extended levers made to adjust aperture and shutter speed, because I couldn't get my finger inside the recessed board. I use a stylus pen to cock the shutter.
The front standard sits just barely on the bed rail (dropped), and only the tiniest amount of rise is avaialble... about 3mm. Tilt of about 3-4mm is available as well. I use this lens infrequently because of the limitations, but when I need it... I need it.
