[HUG ] Re: revisit 6x9 view camera with CFV

As Bernard said, sticking a SLR camera onto the back of a view camera is not a good idea. The mirror box will interfere with most camera movements thus nullifying the reason for doing this is the first place. Having a Hassy back adapter for the view camera makes good sense. Those sliding adapters are a breeze to use. Far less problem than the roll film adapters that require removing the whole GG back before use. I have a roll film adapter for my 4x5, it slides into the Graflok back just like a film holder.

The problem with this idea is that the camera's lens mount would shade your sensor/film if the lens isn't centered (i.e.: if you use movements). 
Your viewfinder would vignette even more due to the mirror.
