I recently returned from Yosemite with my new 5D2. I took along a Canon 45mm TS-E so that I could get shots of Half Dome and El Capitan from the valley floor without tilting the camera up and distorting the view. Unfortunately, in landscape mode, full shift was not enough.
What are the options for more shift in a situation like this?
The lines on the 45mm lens seem to indicate that full shift is 11mm. I estimate I need at least 50% more shift, or at least 16mm. So, something that would give me 16-20mm of shift would work.
I have seen adapter plates for mounting a Canon body on the back of a 4X5, but I am wondering if there are other more compact alternatives. Also, I recall reading somewhere that the mirror box can limit the amount of shift.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
