Sure some plenty of people rigged up a roll film back on view cameras even using backs form medium format cameras. That's just backs. And the S system is backless. I guess a few bolted on a whole camera to the back of their Sinars or Linhofs or what have you. It was not a big deal. But the idea of morphing a medium format DSLR into a Sinar system or any view camera system is bit weak. At least as a reason to buy a company. All one really needs a a tilt shift thing for the glass in front of the S body. Hasselblad has or had one. They tend to be somehow obtainable. A new one came out last month I saw in PDN by a European third party. Novoflex perhaps.
