And the view camera lenses have been with me for decades. Similar to R glass on Nikon/Canon - just looking for ways to use what we already have. The Ultima rig will handle the M8 (or 9 if ever), R8/DMR and Canon all connect to the bellows with an R bayonet. It's very versatile for tilt focus control a bit less versatile for rise/fall and shift perspective corrections and short lenses due to the mirror boxes, bayonet tubes, etc. Really lust after the CFV39 back to hang on that baby to achieve full movements and mirror-less ground glass work.
