I bought 2 of these. You set the lens to M, install a cable release, cock the lever, focus and compose, and then move the lever the other way and then install film back and press the cable release. On the first one I mounted it directly to a Cambo SC lens board with a copal 3 hole. I used four bolts and mounted the whole affair to the Cambo board with a little black polyurethane caulk/adhesive in the grove of the Mamiya adapter lens board. I have set it up with the bag bellows and short rail. The other one I re-sized it to mount on my rittreck / train wreck 5x7 view. I have to admit that these are a great solution in search of a problem. I will use them in the future I'm sure. Just playing in the yard it looks like all the lenses cover 6x9. The wide lenses with out movements. The 250mm non C looks very promising.

i have an Polaroid MP3 monstrum cam with 65 -225mm bellows- should work. 106 x 106mm, lensboard-clamps most probably must be removed.., hole only 56mm diameter so could vignet even 6x7. will tape to front standard since clamps are attached with rivets. polaroid sliding back packfilm. system not plastic like on MP4. also have that. for RB67 lenses its overkill. nothing to tilt/shift. or shift/tilt-unit attached. around 4kg naked. has handle. nothing for someone without car and cannot drive.

I've got one of these; I plan to re-mount the adapter itself to an a Century lens board extension so I can use it on my Century Graphic, then I can use an adapter to put it on my Graphic View if/as needed. My Speed Graphic is an Annie and it's difficult to set the infinity stops to the 112 mm flange distance the RB/RZ lenses call for.

The board them come in, IIRC, is for a Linhoff compatible.

BTW, the RB lenses shorter than 127 mm don't even come close to covering 4x5, but all of them will cover 6x8 and the 65 and longer cover 6x9 -- and the Century is a lot lighter than my RB67 (but this idea has lost some of its attraction since I got a decent Gitzo backpack that will haul my RB, waist and prism finders, three film backs, a 50/90/180 lenses (or I could trade off one film back for the 127 when I get its shutter fixed, or replace the 180 with my 250).
