yes, that is what I mean. Most cameras have a macro mode, but you can
also put the camera about 0.5 meters away from the ground glass.

Ok, the image is dim, but this is large format camera here, not sports
or action. we're talking landscapes, biuldings, etc, right? what's wrong
with a slow shutter speed?

And do you really need the ground glass? what if you *remove* the ground
glass, the image will act as an object for the digicam. it should work.


How will the "image act as an object" without the glass?

Ever here of 35mm tilt/shift lenses?
These work swimmingly on DSLRs.


yes, but you have more flexibility with large format, i think?

just to clarify, the image is there regardless if you have the glass or
not. The rays will keep propagating toward the digicam, and they
"emerge" from the real image, no glass needed. as I said, optics.
