First of all, you guys are having way too much fun in this MF forum. In spite of a very healthy resistance to the format, I also have a growing curiosity. So I hope you don't mind a question.
I've tried to read through most of the threads and haven't found the answer. Which doesn't mean it isn't in there, just that my eyes start to glaze over after trying to sort out the Hassyphaseleafmamiya monster you guys are in the process of taming. If this has been discussed, just link me in the right direction.
The question: Is there a digital back capable of being mounted on a view camera in the same way an old roll film back used to be mounted? I can imagine there might be difficulties with any kind of live view or metering, but is there something (besides a scanning back) that you can use on a view camera? What are the folks who need the swings and tilts of a traditional view camera doing for digital?
Thanks,
Tim
