    using Horseman MF Field Camera lensboard mounted lenses on 4x5 camera ...?

    I'm looking for a way of using a lens already in a board which fits the Horseman 6x9 field cameras, on a linhof type 5x4 camera lens board type adaptor. Does anyone know if there was ever such a thing made or available? If not, are there any services that you know of that might be able to 'knock one up' for me?

    I don't want to remove the lens and shutter from the small Horseman board as it will require cutting the wire used for electronic shutter firing (not that I use that facility, but it would be nice to keep it intact), but I'd like to use my 65mm super topcor on my 5x4 camera.

    thanks in advance.

    There is a Horseman to Technica adapter. They seem pretty expensive when they come up for sale. Horseman #27625

    Thanks - do you know if it is for the 80mmx80mm horseman boards, or the larger LF versions?

    Good!

    I never got one of those adapters because my 4x5 camera is also a Horseman and it takes the 8x8cm lensboards directly.
