jj, I stand corrected, I confused you with someone else. Your other posts are just fine, the one above must have been a small mental slip.

I don't play the piano, I don't have a beard and I listen to AC/DC in the darkroom. I have no hope as a photographer.
I had Calumet demo the Ultima 35 for my Arch Photo class a couple of years ago and I have to say that the lense limitations and inability to rotate the back made the camera unusable for serious arch photography particularly at the price. Most arch. photo pros that are switching to digital are using full chip Canons with PC lenses.

Kirk - Calumet says that you can mount a dSLR body vertically to the Ultima 35, but you need a separate mounting bracket to do it. Not very convenient, and more $$$ too.
So far as you've heard, has there been any interest among the architectural pros in the new digital version of the Cambo Wide DS? That can be equipped with the 24, 35 and 47 Schneider Digitars for a genuinely wide view on the various Leaf, P1 and Imacon backs.

Some that I've seen... but the lack of swings is a real downer, and with most peeps I've talked to - a deal breaker.

Good point... So is anyone actually using precision small view cameras with digital backs, like the Linhof 679, Sinar P3, or Arca-Swiss M, or is everyone just jumping to the Canon/TS combination?
Mounting a 35mm (or DSLR) to a LF view camera back would have have the lens mount and mirror complex in the way of angular rays, putting the sensor in a cave. I can't imagine that it would offer the fleixiblity one needs with traditional LF lenses.
Putting a SRL to a LF camera has its advantages. It is useful for macro work (long bellows) or just when using long lenses, much lighter for LF than the 35mm long beasts. Sure you cannot use movements so much (if at all) but that doesn't mean the combination is useless.
