Hi Frank,
If I recall correctly, the focal length is 8 inches. It was probably
intended for a 5 in. x 7 in. view camera, or something like that, perhaps a
little smaller. The wooden cameras of that day came in a variety of sizes.
I fitted it to the Oly just to get an idea of the image quality, and was
pleasantly surprised. I have not used it a lot, so don't have more images
at this time.
