Pretty much, yes. There are some dryplate holders that will fit right into a back made for film holders, the size is the same and the rib lock is in the same place. The problem is that the "T" dimention, the distance from the front of the holder to the film plane, can be and usually are, different, this will affect focusing. Two oprions here, shim out the holder or in some other way modify it according to what is needed, OR make careful measurrements of the difference between the holder and the back, and adjust after focusing on the subject.
If so, are there instructions you can point me to on how to convert a dry plate holder to fit in the view camera?
