Has anybody here ever tried just slapping a DSLR body onto a piece of plywood with an extension tube or something and putting it on the back of a large format view camera?
I've found like 2 people who have done it online, but they offer very scanty discussion of how well it works and almost no sample photos or anything.
My main concern is you need an extension tube since the hand grip sticks out in the front, and that puts the sensor in danger of a lot of shadowing/vignetting when you do movements.
(Note: if you own something like a sony A7, this is a complete non issue. Sensor would be almost as far forward as film would be!)
