I would really recommend against this. Front cell focusers are not a
good choice for several reasons: inherently poorer lens performance
(serious optical compromises in designing FCFs), much more demanding
mechanicals (one of the reasons why the spuds are marginal is the slop
in the front cell focusing mechanicals), lack of availability of high
performance lenses (older triplets and tessar-types the only FCFs)...
