Is there anything special about the way the swings and tilts work on large
format cameras (I'm thinking of the simple old wooden ones, not modern
studio cameras) that would keep someone from, say, taking the bellows off a
junk folder and cobbling together that with a pentax body and making their
own Franken-PC lens? I understand the lens used has to cast a large enough
image to cover the film, but what else would one need to be mindful of?
Thanks,
