Thank you Charles,
I said I don't have a view camera.

I think the problems here (besides making the adapter) are twofold:
Yes, it is. Many years ago I had an aluminum plate wiht a Leica screw thead fabricated, which fit almost any 4x5 camera with a Graflock back. This is the ground glass screen, which could be un-hoocked and set aside. The plate was secured with top and bottom sliders which all cameras seemed to have(Graphic type). In the fullness of time I moved to a Kodak DCS460, but continued to use the system with an adapter for Nikon mount, code LEINIK, I believe.

Last year when I bougth a D30 I made a adapter for my Sinar P2, I use enlarging lens of 100 and 150 mm, but my procedure is different, I did some test for vigneting, and found out that I could use a " negative size of 6x4,5 cm, I shoot still lifes composed on the Sinar groundglass fitted with a mask for 6x4.5, when done I substitute the ground glass with the camera plus adapter, refocus and then with the micro geared mechanism of the Sinar I go up 14 mm and 20 mm to the left, I shoot, move 20 mm to the rigth, shoot again another move to the rigth, then down 14 mm and the sequence to the le left, then down and to the ritgh, in total 9 frames in a matrix of 3x3, it is done is under 50 seconds, the stitching in any suitable app takes under 15 min, The result is a 6000x 4500 + pixels image. now with the D60 the images are about 9000x6000 pixels. of course can be done with less images covering a "smaller " format. This is a kind of " manual scan back '

A interesting option is to use a Shift lens. with My Scheneider
Courtagon 35 mm I set the camera vertical, offset the lens to the
left, shoot and offset the lens to the rigth, shoot, stitch is very
fast here, may be a minute, and there you are with 3000x4000 pixels
