This image is the +1 stop capture from a set of 3 exposure bracketed images. Normally, I would use the 'properly' exposed file, but I liked the brightness in this one. It was made with a new to me old film lens that just arrived yesterday.

Here are a couple more images from the industrial park.

The first one, I'm standing directly under the piping that is going into the building on the left and used shift to get the building on the right in the frame. The second one, I had everything packed up and was walking back to the truck. This scene caught my attention, prompting another photo.

Shift lenses - the gateway drug to technical cameras...

You know it! When I took up digital photography after a hiatus from shooting 4x5, I was over the moon when I read a Tim Parkin article on On Landscape where he described tilt-shift adapters. When my friend Jeffrey put me on to digital view cameras, I was able to get back everything I lost in the way of movements when I stopped using 4x5s.

Now if you can mount that thing on a tilt adapter, you will be set!

I'm actually being serious this time! A shift lens on a tilt-shift adapter is a powerful tool. And wouldn't you know it, they exist: https://kipon.com/product/ts-m645-x1d/

Looks just like the Pentax 645 one. And just think, you could get over 30mm of shift out of the combo.:oops:
I wouldn't get my hopes up for 30mm of shift, but having the ability to do a rise with tilt would be nice, or to combine rise and shift while doing a tilt or swing. I found that extremely useful when I had a pair of Mirex tilt-shift adapters. Still not as good as a digital view camera... but it was pretty good.
