Thanks Montie.

There have always been adapters.

Back in high school I hung my Nikon F on to a 4x5 Graflex.

I've always sought to put odd bits of glass on to whatever cameras I have 
access to.
And sought to change backs as well.
The 8x10 Deardorf also took 5x7 and 4x5.
The 4x5 Linhofs also took 6x9, 6x7, 6x6 and 35 mm.

I can put 'blad CF lenses on my Ultima
and put a 'blad back on the back end
or the Leica M or R on the back end
or the 5D on the back end

Anything has always been possible.

So many ways to keep interested in Photography
The Art of It
The Social Documentary Aspects
Scientific Documentation
The Chemistry
Sensitometry 
        Films / Papers
        Sensors
        Scanning backs
Optics
Mechanics
Light of every sort Imaginable 

Never been bored in my life.
