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.
