A customer asked for a Wollaston soft focus meniscus lens for his 4x5 Horseman FA.
But the small 80x80mm lensboard and short bellows draw on that camera limited his options to 125mm focal length.
Here's the camera...

After a bunch of emails I designed an option...
I re-designed the lens mount from a flange type to an axial screw type mount...

And attached a lensboard specifically for the 45FA Horseman...

He now has a 125mm f:2.3 Wollaston Meniscus for his camera...

That was a lot of fun...
