Default did anyone try this: cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?

why? what for?


do you have any idea what a large format camera can do??? you can move
the lens and the focal plane independently, achieving effects never
possible with a point-n-shoot (or even a dSLR).


You can get bellows lenses for Nikons, I believe, and tilt and shift lenses
for Canon, that achieve much of what the bellows on a large format camera
does. Can't use them on a P&S, of course, but you can use them on DSLR
bodies. No AF, but at that point, who'd expect that?
