50mm Tilt Shift lens for micro 4/3

No, I haven't but I will add I find my EF 45/2.8 TS less useful on my m4/3 because of the FOV. Whereas I like it very much on my 5D. Its a bit too long for using it for shifting and for tilting I like using my Lensbaby tilt adapter with a Nikkor 35/2 or 24/2.8 better. Just thought I would add that. Have you considered finding an FD tilt/shift? I think they are 35/2.8 and shouldn't be too much more expensive than this and since you're MF anyhow just a thought. At least you would have some feedback on the lens.

Mark, thanks for reminding me I need to buy that adaptor from the fellow in Italy

As a lover of my TS-E 24 and 90mm lenses on 35mm film I feel that at 50mm on a 4/3 (close to the look of a 90) will be most useful tilted and for shift we don't have anything wide enough (that I'm willing to spend the money on).

I've been urging people to make a tilt shift adaptor ... but to no avail

12mm lenses to cover enough area (aka 35mm lenses) are either dear or have shi-ite resolution, so I don't really think that shift is so important.

so I'll get the adaptor so I can use high quality lenses of what ever focal length I prefer

Please report back on that adapter. I've used my LB tilt adapter with FD lens but have to use Nikon to FD small adapter which means a bit of glass. The results were pretty decent but in the end mostly use my Nikkor 24 and 35.

Diane thanks for your comments and suggestions. I will have to think through the options or just stick to my other systems if i want to do TS work

May be it was me :)

The Adrionoli adapter is actually a tilt adapter only. Mine is made for Olympus OM mount and works fine with all my OM mount lenses.

Yes, Michiel, how could I forget LOL. I've continued to enjoy your images but had forgotten you had the tilt adapter.
