That is true with the independent movements, I haven't been using a lot of shift with my arca classic 6x9, as I only have the non metric version and the shift is very clunky manually. Hoping to one day upgrade to geared so I actually use it! on my toyo vx125 it is something that I use but am now selling this camera.The other thing to consider if going either the GFX or X2D with adapted lenses (without a tech cam), is that you do not get "independent" shift left/right and rise/fall. It is one or the other or the strange (to me) diagonal combo of both. Not independent though. Initially coming from a 5x4 camera, this was definitely a negative that these lenses did not and still do not offer. Obviously with any sort of tech camera, this is not the case.
Is going the route of a GFX and Canon 24mm TS-E II and GFX 30mm TS-E AND a Universalis with lenses above 50mm (without rotafoot) or 60mm (with rotafoot) an absolutely bonkers option? Both in terms of weight and practicality?![]()
I think a bit bonkers, haha imagine changing from the 24mm to a 60mm and back and then back again, you would have to reassemble your whole setup each shot, or have two tripods that you swap between? anytime i've had two cameras as such, one gets forgotten about when i'm running around chasing the light! good suggestion though!
