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

I have found adapters to put blads backs onto view cameras.
Was just wondering about putting a whole 203 shebang on the back.

I think it is the wonder of the CFV back and its flexibility that I want to
explore.
Given that you can trigger the back so easily, it can be put onto anything.

I keep imagining it on the back of a compact view camera with the ability to
get some really nice architectural and landscape shots.

Goal: an SWC with the ability to tilt, shift & swing.
