Marvelous idea! Should also work good for wet plates.

Just finished a 4x5 wide camera using a MC 65mm f/5.6 Super Angulon in the Schneider helical. The camera has a Graflok back and thank goodness for a fellow Photo member he found me the super hard to find Cambo folding focusing hood.

(PS) my outdated Velvia test shots needed WAYYYYYY more exposure. I gave it an extra 2/3 of a stop and prob could have used at least that much more!!

DIY Graflok back for my Plaubel Peco Jr.

Reverse engineered from a Cambo 4x5 -> 6x9 rear standard adapter plate.

SLS 3D printed in Nylon 12 GF. Mounted onto a laser cut sheet of 1.5mm 4130 Chromoly.

Spring steel & ground glass taken from original Cambo plate. Thread-to-expand M3 inserts & M3x6mm bolts.

Recently finished a personal 4x5 point and shoot with a Linhof stamped 65mm f/5.6. Really excited and looking forward to shooting with this one!

This looks really gorgeous! Look forward to your photos.

P.S. I guess the SA 65mm f5.6 version has more coverage than f8. My f8 has some corner vignetting even stopped down to f/22.
