I want to be able to shoot with a view camera lens (on a 4x5) and my P 25, where should I get the cable and how much does it normally cost etc.
I think I may get an adapter and test the camera with my 180mm for table top...

Thanks. That is a "one shot" cable, and a bit out of my budget, on the other side, I think that I could use something less automatic than that, like a cable that would only "wake" the back up and then I could just go ahead and shoot the leaf shutter in the lens. I can't find that, but I will keep looking,..

If you dont want to use the One Shot cable - there are two other options
The Primary Sync wake up cable from Capture Integration - $87.90
The wake up cable from Phase which is the same cable that goes from the lens to the back - but this one has a button on it - Capture Integration I think sells this as well
I use both of these cables with no problems

Thank you all, probably I will get a simple adapter plate and a simple cable to start.

Here is a link to our web site to show you our Primary Sync Cable:

You will still need a standard cable release to trigger the shutter.

Hi:
You can use the standard Hasselbald V - Phase One cable that attaches to the flash sync on the lens and "double shoot"-- one to wake the back up and the next one within 3-5 seconds to take the actual exposure.
I was able to purchase additional ones from Calumet in the San Francisco Bay Area for about $20. I think the person I talked with was "Gene", but I would just ask for the "Professional Digital" guy. He'll know the cable.
I assume that you have a P25 with a Hasselbald mount. There are two adapter plates that are reasonably priced and "easy" to obtain-- one is by Horseman and the other by Linhof.
The Horseman does not fit the P-back. For some reason the cutout isn't compatible (with the P45). Any Graflock/4x5 to Hassie filmback adapter you will need to try the back on to make sure it fits.
The Linhof does correctly fit the P-series and fits most 4x5s that have a Graflok adapter. However, some 4x5 cameras don't have a "pure" Graflock spec'd area-- I found this on my Ebony and the Linhof adapter.
I would call Badger graphic and ask them which Graflok/view camera to Hasselblad film back adapters they carry--- they might let you try them on spec.
Expect to spend in the $300-$400 range for a new Graflock to Hassie filmback adapter.
The Phase One adapter is about $2000, allows stitching, etc. but is quite pricey. It is also a little bulky-- I was looking for something to backpack with.
Hope this gets you started. Don't hesitate to follow-up with me on this. I went through this journey last year. I found locating the Graflok/4x5 adapter that worked to be the most difficult.
Good luck!

Here is another product that may come in handy, depending on what you are trying to shoot.
http://www.captureintegration.com/solutions/featuredproduct/ (http://www.captureintegration.com/solutions/featuredproduct/)
It is the Multi-Pop or Multi-Exposure Adapter. It fits into the P and P+ series Phase One backs.
It basically tricks the digital back into allowing you to do multiple pops or multiple shots on the same image.
