Very cool. I can either shoot a single shot or I can pan and shoot across the back of the view camera and stitch the images together in post for a huge image. Saves the exorbitant cost of a digital back and so far seems to work pretty well. Now I can use my Nikon view camera lenses! Any use for you? I will keep you posted if new details appear if you so wish.
