Interesting, I have at least a complete 45E or two lurking in a box....now where to find an affordable focusing mount??? (even the fotoman is out of my budget right now)

erie, I have seen homebuild projects that used the focussing helicoid from one of those cheapie 500 mm lenses for 35 mm use. You won't fit a Super Angulon XL in there, but one of the small press 90 mm like the Wollensak wide angle Raptar would work well.
Another option would be a junked MF lens. On the European eBays it seems as if a number of pro repair and service shops are selling off their inventory. eBay.de for example has a regular trickle of Hasselblad lens barrel assemblies. With these you would be getting a brand new, mechanically perfect focussing mount, with no need to worry about, say, importing fungus.
