Wish I knew!Never had that lens myself (red lots of good things about it), so what do you suggest as a medium wide possibility?

1. Most GX680 parts needed.That is quite astonishing in deed! :clap: Congratulations on this challenging project Chiek.
I am hesitating to ask a few questions, as some are obviously due to my lack of knowledge in the technical camera department. Appologies if they come across a little strangte perhaps.
1.
I am not 100% certain that I understood what part of the GX680 are required for this construction. I read about the camera, and it seems there is some supply available, however, they are more or less collector items and not brand new, right? Does this not pose a problem due to wear and tear fo example.
2.
You are not using gear driven mechanics, right? Does this not pose a problem for precise movements, say in architecture for example? (Again, I have zero experience in technical camera usage.)
3.
I understand that this is a private project, hence I assume you can not give warranty of any kind. Are there any risks for the A7R involved, other than a lot of evironmental sensor exposure. I assume using the system in the field, requires a daily cleaning of the sensor afterwards, would that be right?
Thanks Chiek.
Best wishes

It is sure interesting, but are there EOS lenses that will have enough coverage to allow movements without too much corner problems ? Apart of the TSE lenses, but then those are already offering movements..Many people interested and asked functions. so I will generate for upgrade idea.
I think If this camera enable EOS AF & aperture control, like metabones3, It will be better.
I tried it and I think It can make it. but Very difficult work so Price will be very higher...
I see but Typical movements is easier than TS lens own movements for many photographers.It is sure interesting, but are there EOS lenses that will have enough coverage to allow movements without too much corner problems ? Apart of the TSE lenses, but then those are already offering movements..
Thank you for your answer. I think that I'm beginning to get it : both the lens (front standard) and the back standard holding the camera are moving in a perfectly synchronized manner ? The goal is mainly to stitching several frames more easily (no parallaxe problem, since everything always move in the same plan and remember parallel).I see but Typical movements is easier than TS lens own movements for many photographers.
and because of not use lens internal movements, all the time Lens center is in center of front frame. It is benefit to avoid interference.
EOS mounts is just bridge for MOST lens and PLUS enable 17, 24 TS.
My idea added to rear shift scale.
Frt/Rr standard is perfect paralell that is my goal, too. I tested 2times during making, Both test checks parallax check especially final test.Thank you for your answer.

Did I get it correctly ? Then if the movements of the two standards (front and back) are perfectly synchronized it isn't exactly what we name a technical camera.. But still an interesting idea.
DennisHHH, I'm just a photographer. Not a machinist or maker.Great set up! How much would it cost for a 645 Pentax lens plate and a APO Rodenstock enlarging lens mounting plate? What is the time frame for delivery and is there a warranty? When is the next model coming with more shift capabilities?
Typical movements is easier than TS lens own movements for many photographers.Hi Chiek,
I am wondering, why would I want to attach a Tilt/Shift glass to your Tilt/Shift construction? What is the advantage?
I know, probably a most stupid question, but if you never handled a technical camera, funny questions can pop up at times.
Thanks!
