how does the 6x17 back work on a 4x5? Do I still get 17cm exposed?

Im just having hard time understand how you get 17cm exposed on 5" wide camera.
is it because it sits further back?

Any limitations on these backs?

What would be the benefit to go with a Shen Hao 617?

Quickly, yes, it sits back a bit.

The issue is the limitation of focal lengths that work with these. The Shen doesn't suffer from these limitations.

There is a fair amount already written here on the topic, so perhaps do a search on it?
