A shift lens

15mm f/4.5. Price 999 Euros.

This is in m4/3rds mount. Why post it here?

This, I suspect, is a remounted C-V 15/4.5 lens (8 elements in 6 groups) that I use on my NEX-5N (where it works beautifully but has color shift problems on the 7). It should well on the 6 as well.

The price isn't bad.

haha, it does look like my CV 15mm 4.5! I too use it on my 5n, fantastic lens, sharp corners wide open! i use mine with with a leica M to nex helicoid. guess there is room to use a shift adapter instead of a helicoid.

On the 5n, it becomes a 22mm lens, on a micro 4/3 it becomes a 30mm. what a waste to use on MFT! Also the shift effect will not be a good at 30mm.

Interestingly, this only has 5.3mm of shift (unlike the 35mm versions with larger shifts).

I really hope that someone will come out with a T/S adapter (or a rehoused lens) that suit the smaller formats (ie., with less movements).
