Jay Dusard built a "point and shoot" 4x10 some years ago -- he used wood
(plus ground glass) and a 90mm lens with a helical focusing mount (available
from the manufacturer -- not sure whether he used a Schneider or a Rodenstock).

While Jay also has a 4x10 Canham, he reports that his "brick" is a whole
lot easier to use in the field.
