I have a 1910ish Auto Graflex with the original B&L 4x5 Tessar lens and I absolutely love how this lens renders the perfect mix of sharpness, softness, transition and smoothness. Unfortunately it seems that this lens won't work on my newer Graflex D as it won't infinity focus as the lens needs to be closer to the film plane than the camera allows.
My question is this: What lens in most close to the B&L in terms of rendering but will also work properly on the Graflex D? What lens was original for these?
