In the early 1960s Martin Forscher at Professional Camera Repair in New York City put a 120mm Rodenstock Imagon into a simple Kodak focusing barrel for Horn-Griner. It was used on a Hasselblad 1000F, modified to synch electronic flash.
The donor in the 120mm Imagon conversion that I handled was a 120mm Zeiss S-Planar in a Synchro-Compur 500C barrel. Such were the fees charged by top New York photographers in the sixties that the conversion was paid for by the first job that used it.
