A compact lens to fold inside a Horseman FA

Steve, Rodenstock's 135 Apo-Sironar-N will fit the bill. I have the older version and it's a cracking little lens. It will cover 4x5 and allow some movements (image circle 200mm). I used to use it on the Horseman VH which has I believe the same front assembly as the FA so can be stored closed.

The Nikkor 200M is slightly, just slightly too big to fit inside the

FA, I know, I have them both. The 200M has a 52mm filter ring and

this bumps into the focusing rail assembly when the camera is folded.

The 135 Apo-Sironar-N, (a great lens) with the smaller 38mm filter

thread should work.

Comparison between Toyo AII & Horseman FA for field Landscape

This has been asked by many but I am contemplating purchasing the

Toyo AII because of its 12.5 inches of bellows.

I shoot primarily landscape and anticipate using a wide angle most of

the time with some tele work i.e. 240mm

What is the practical maximum lens that is really being used with the

FA in the field. This discussion of using a 360mm or 400mm intriques

me. I would love to have a field camera at less than 4lbs

Thanks
