This combo will not work, I think.A slightly off topic perhaps, but what is the story with the Rodenstock apo sironar digital 45mm lens? It does not draw much attention here.
Does that also leave image circle room for "front rise", to keep verticals straight?Ah..... missed it. Thanks for posting. I do not own that lens but have the 90 SW and the 138 float both of which are stellar. The 50 Digaron would be as wide as I would need on the GFX and as mentioned above if I needed wider then I could shift 17mm LR and have a fov of a 35mm lens.

You mean with the 50 HR?Does that also leave image circle room for "front rise", to keep verticals straight?
Thanks!
These are indeed a very bad news.Very disappointing to find out that the Digaron 50mm will not work with the Rotafoot on the MF-Two. I felt that the Rotafoot would add some distance between the standards and as it turns out it does. This means that the 50mm will focus to infinity when using the Rotafoot but there is no room for movements.

It is a limitation of the Fuji camera body, there is no doubt about that. Becouse all Fuji GFX shares the same dimensions of the lens adaptation and sensor position, there limitation should be at them all the same. If you take for example a Sony a7r IV or other sony camera there will be no limitation.I wonder if the hard vignette of 18-20mm, reported here, is any different with the GFX 100 (not s), and if it's a permanent limitation of the GFX body or is it just restricted to Arca-Swiss cameras - both M-line and Universalis ?
18-20 mm movements possibilities is not bad. Shift lenses have only 12 mm.Hmm, ok, got it, thank you. That's a bit of a bummer - it seriously limits my view camera choices.
The problem is I need a view camera for (mostly) tabletop and (some) macro applications. Combining shift, tilt and swing could get me into trouble with the 18-20mm limitation ... maybe )) .18-20 mm movements possibilities is not bad. Shift lenses have only 12 mm.
When you stich the 18-20 limitation is not a problem, becouse you dont need the whole image.
no, I dont think it will. most lenses have even not as big image circle that allows you 18 mm movements, and most lenses that have the bigger image circle will not performe well at such big movements.The problem is I need a view camera for (mostly) tabletop and (some) macro applications.

Is the 18-20mm limitation on Fuji GFX bodies valid at all focusing distances ? (I would assume so, but maybe I’m wrong)no, I dont think it will. most lenses have even not as big image circle that allows you 18 mm movements, and most lenses that have the bigger image circle will not performe well at such big movements.
The "sensor cavity" of GFX cameras is the constraint. With large shifts, you get mechanical vignetting because the sensor is in a "tunnel", and the front edges of the tunnel block the light.Is the 18-20mm limitation on Fuji GFX bodies valid at all focusing distances ?
