Hey,
I'm planning on buying Robert's custom wide-angle camera. It sits a 65mm lens and 4x5 GG. The focus is fixed at infinity.
Since I can't afford a Hasselblad SWC any time soon, I plan to purchase this, then upgrade it with a focusing helical to allow focusing of sorts.
I see this focusing helical here:

Are there any alternatives, or am I stuck with this one option for a quality helical?
I'm looking at a lot of work anyway (removing the front plate, manufacturing a replacement, and adjusting it to be the correct infinity distance for a helical).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
