Medium - Wide lens suggestion for the Horseman FA?

You should look into a Fujinon W 125mm 5.6. There are a couple of versions with differing coverages and filter sizes, but all cover 4x5 with movements and are quite modest in size. They generally sell for under $300.

Hi David,
Thanks for that, yes I had looked at the Fujinon originally as it seemed to be a perfect focal length for what I was after... I originally thought it was single coated so was going to give it a miss but now I see that there are versions that have multicoating?

Any idea if the rear of this lens is able to be used with the Horseman FA?

Thanks again!

Yes, the later versions were multicoated. I use mine in a Wista SP, it fits easily (they are quite small). See
