Jim, interesting notes! What do you use to connect the Aptus onto your 4x5? The problem with both large format digital and panoramic digital is that they are $, as apparant blamed on need so exact tolerances, but... groundglass also small to view then, is it not? Per the guy I spoke to at Shen-Hao when I picked up my 4x5 in their store in Shanghai it sounded as a possibility that they may be able to make a Mamiya to 4x5 adapter. They already make one for Hasselblad to 4x5, and it only permit horizontal stitching and has no ground glass. Thus simple to throw into camera bag also
. The 4x5 groundglass is used for focus and then replaced by the adapter when take the shot. That should work, provided they get tolerance correct. Any thoughts?
I am curious how you find it to compose using your Aptus; The SW-D should come with an external viewfinder, but what about your 4x5? Also, in what situations do you prefer one over the other?
