Hi,

You need to find a mounting interface that could be installed on a lens board. There are a couple companies that sell crazy camera mounts for the back of view cameras, and lens adapters like the nikon to canon stuff so i bet they could machine one for you if you can't make it yourself.
Firing the shutter probably isn't possible to you'd be left with controlling exposure times by hand, ie lens cap and darkslide style. I'm also not sure how much coverage those lenses would give you with tilts and other movements. Minimum focus with the shorter focal lenghts could also be an issue as movements may not be very generous and movements are usually the reason for using a view camera with roll film.

I thought about this myself. I concluded that the main technical problem is triggering the leaf shutter.

If you are talking rb67 land, find yourself a beat to hell camera body, extract the front end, mount it on a lensboard. The crank mechanism will have to be fabricated, shoot it in MLU mode.

If you are talking Mamiya 7, I have no idea.

A lot easier to use Schneider (Super Symmar XLS and/or Super Angulon XLS glass and/or Docter Optics lenses plus
Fuji and/or Nikon LF/MF glass all in Copal shutters. You can use rollfilm backs on any 4X5 view camera with a Graflok type back.
