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.

This time, it's Barrowby Church (a village a couple of miles away from Grantham, where the larger church is - posted above).

GFX100S with Laowa 15mm lens and 10mm shift.

N.B. After taking this, I put my drone up and took some moody images of the church through the thicker, swirling fog. But obviously I can't post them on this forum! The wider collection, in case anyone's interested, is here: Barrowby Church

Beautiful drone set, Ed. It's a good thing drone use is severely restricted where I live, or the temptation would be too great.
