I am in need of a recessed lens board that will fit a horseman 980. To my knowledge they did make a board for this purpose.

I know the questions that initially pop up in most people's minds so to answer them preemptively, I need to board for a pinhole project which requires very little space between the film and pinhole. There will be no lens element protruding from the rear of the board so space is not an issue.

If anyone has one of these please let me know! Thank you!

As you may or may not know, the Horseman branded lenses all came on their own lensboard. Finding individual lensboards that are recessed is not going to be easy, as Horseman did not sell one. Your best bet may be to modify a lensboard with a cardboard tube extending backwards.
 
Yes, I know they came on their own boards but I've seen recessed boards that were made for them. No clue who made them although I assumed it was Horseman since Horseman makes clear in their literature that shorter lenses can be used but extra accessories would be necessary.
Anyway, I ran some tests to figure out if I really even need it to do what I want and I don't think I actually do. Either way, if anyone has one it could be nice to have. Regardless, thanks for the reply! If worse comes to worse and I do need it but can't find one I'll do what you said and make one.
