Not only are they shifting, they are also shipping
This lineup OF adapters will be available from Tmall, Amazon, Ebay and some dealers in different countries STARTING IN Jan 2018, WITH A suggested retail price OF $628US.”But I wonder to whom they're shipping? They don't seem to have appeared on eBay or any US dealer's website.

Yes, I use it on my GFX with Pentax 645 lenses. The lenses are the 45-85, 80-160 and, 150-300. Most of the time I use the 80-160.does anybody use this solution?
+1can you show us some pics of the system and some test-shoots? best michael

The build quality is great and the way it allows the camera to rotate means I don’t need an L-Bracket on the camera body...so I always have easy access to the battery.
I really enjoy the flexibility I get with this setup. If there is an issue it’s that the adapter does not look like it would be weather proof in very poor weather as there are lots of seams but I suspect all tilt/shift adapters would have the same issue.

Do you shoot any long exposures with it? I assume if you feel it may not be weather proof then it will likely leak light?
While I have not used the older P45-EOS adapter, based on your description, this one sounds much better.Thanks Jeff. How easily and securely does the rotation on the shift mechanism lock into place when you change the orientation? On my older Kipon P645-EOS adapter it's hard to make it 'click' in so if I then want to change aperture the lens often wiggles around. I quite often want to take two frames at f11 and f4 and be able to overlay them perfectly.
It’s just a generic lens plate with an arca style set of grooves. The picture above showing the bottom of the adapter has two different size holes that can accept a screw for lens plates. I suppose you can the attach a plate to any system you have.Thx for the pictures!
I didn't understand the tripod mount you're using. Is that a nodal slider?

Jeff, do you trust the Kipon tripod mount? It is just attached with two weak screws to a very small area of the t/s adapter. Mine came loose by just looking at it sort off.It’s just a generic lens plate with an arca style set of grooves.

Hope that helps.

Well, when I first saw it, I thought it was not going to work but when I put the foot on it it seemed pretty solid.Jeff, do you trust the Kipon tripod mount? It is just attached with two weak screws to a very small area of the t/s adapter. Mine came loose by just looking at it sort off.
