The HR-DIGARON 32mm lens has an image circle of 90mm . It is designed for a max. Sensor of 40x54mm + some shift horizontal/vertikal .
The diagonal of the HB square image is ca. 80mm . This is within the image circle of 90mm . But with a HB film back you will have only very little movements . Actually none .
Even though it's hard to beat the SWC for this due to its tiny form factor and high quality lens.What @anyone said - you need the non “A” backs, which have a little window for you to see the frame number on the roll’s paper backing so you know when to stop advancing the film. That window is blocked off on the A backs. It would be cool to “shoot square” but don’t forget there’s also the 16 back which gives you a true 645 format.
How were you intending to focus if you went this way? Or would you just use hyperfocal focusing as one would on the Superwide C? I agree that the SWC’s 38mm Biogon is hard to beat (very sharp with essentialoy zero distortion, quite unlike the Rodie 32 HR) and such a tiny form factor!

The preservation of historical monuments wants sometimes additionally to the digital files some black and white film for the archive.
I can't understand why but the customer is always right.
The plan is to change between the digital back and the film back.
For focusing and framing I have all the necessary ground glasses and loups. Normally hyperfocal focusing is perfect.
The 32 mm is a lot wider than the Biogon, but anyway I sold my SWC ten years ago.
