I didn't fully identify the lens I have and the latest Schneider Symmar-L APO lenses in their catalog show the larger rear group. I've attached a photo of it mounted on the Horseman lensboard. I hope this helps. I also plan to find another 150/180mm lens for the Horseman which will work.

Yup, that is a 180mm Apo-Symmar L. The "L" is located behind the focal length on the inscription, not after the "Apo-Symmar".

Scott,
With an extremely minor modification to the camera, a Fujinon 180A will actually fold inside the little Horseman FA. I made a BIG project out of this, and it still took less than an hour. The Fuji is a very nice little lens. I had two other 180's, the Fuji was the keeper. Steve
