But in the case of mounting an S/S2 body onto a view camera the mirror box makes the distance, rise, fall, shift, tilt, swing all extremely limited; when compared to mounting simply a digital back on the same camera. I have mounted my R8/DMR, M8/Visoflex and Canon 5D on my Cambo Ultima. It provides great fun - interesting new possibilities - though extreme limitations due to the mirror box dimensions; which disappear when simply mounting a digital back. <http://www.imagist.com/blog/?p=225> The M (240) with live view and/or EVF would actually give more movements than the S/S2 Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
