Default Building a View camera to use Hassy or Kiev backs

I just told you, it's mainly the gearing. I don't think the light trap
raised part of the back is the same either.


It indeed isn't. Tasing a file to the Kiev back will help solve that though.
;-)

[...] Since both are driven from gearing inside
the camera, their use on a view camera would be difficult.


Surprisingly, Bob Monaghan hasn't chimed in with his very good "use a
non-automatic back" tip. They have a peephole allowing you to inspect
transport, which is done using the key on the back itself. Works.
