It involves too much pushing and pulling on the back of the camera that threatens movement of the camera after it is composed and focused.
... I am willing to give up the Rotary Back to allow use of a 65mm lens, by composing and focusing with the regular GG focusing frame and the AAR holder. I even have some hope of being able to make a recessed board that will handle a 47mm SA in a #00 Compur or at least the 58mm Grandagon in this shutter.
