I tried it... but I found it complicated. Basicly you have to use the same exposure than with the SLR adding the bellows extension compensation. The light transmission of a LF Plasmat is very close the one of a prime lens, say a Nikon 50mm f/1.8.
The difference is that in 35mm or MF you can bracket exposure if the shot deserves it, while a 8x10 slide is about jewelry, the photographer becomes a goldsmith, or a diamond cutter. Material cannot be wasted.
On any doubt attach the DSLR to the back of the camera (without the lens, projecting the LF image on the sensor) until you get used to nail exposures.
