I have been offered a used CFV16 and am wondering if it is possible to mount it on a vintage Super Wide Angle body? Thanks.

It is possible , yes , and I have done so .

But , when you advance the filmknob to cock the shutter , then you will have to swing the CFV a little bit away from the camera body , because there is no hole for that little plunger , which comes out of the camera body .

Thanks. I was shooting with the SWA today with a film back of same vintage and at mid roll the shutter would not fire. I had to pull out the back, fiddle with the arm and replace the back to get it to work again. If I need to do that with the CFV after every shot then it is a no go for me!
