Dags and view cams (was Re: Toyo 810G and Fidelity Delux film holders)

Dags aren't on glass but I see what you're getting at. I was intending to
use an 8x10 with a 4x5 reducing back for dags and the 8x10 format for
contact prints. Can anyone explain just how you would go about loading a
dag plate (or a tin type?) for exposure in a view camera?

Thanks,
Jon
