Kinya,
Really great images!! I was curious about your using the Canon wide-angle lenses. Do they cover the entire medium format sensor, or is their cropping of the edges involved? I see you also use a 40mm Rodenstock; any advantage of using the Canon lenses vs the Rodenstock, perhaps with stitching?
I have an XF camera, and wonder if there is an adapter for Canon ts lenses to use-anyone know?

Lou, I dunno. You tell me. Maybe it shouldn't be posted here?
A technical camera to most of us is an Alpa, Cambo, etc. These are manual focus instruments often with Rodenstock or Schneider lenses. If you used your GFX50S body on a technical camera then it would be best to note it here.

Smoothjazz,
Thank you.
Though it is obvious, advantage of using Canon lens are
1. Image circle is large enough (barely) to cover full size medium format sensor
You can get ultra wide angle (especially with 17mm) image with reasonable cost
2. 17mm is the widest full frame medium format lest, as long as I know
Disadvantage are,
1. Image circle are just large enough to cover full frame and no room for movement
2. Not as sharp as good tech camera lenses, including HR40mm you mentioned, especially at corners.
I found advantages over take disadvantages, I could capture images I have never taken with medium format camera before.
Not sure I understand your question regarding HR40mm vs Canon TS-E but you can get ultra wide image with single shot with Canon TS-E, you need shift and swing multiple shots and combine in PC if you want to take ultra wide with HR40mm, if successful.
I don't know anything about Canon adapter for XF but I guess XF flange depth are too long to make adapter.

In my opinion, Canon 17mm is a specialty lens (FOV standpoint) and nothing else can replace when you need ultra wide angle, though rarely encounters.
If I have to pick one, I would take HR23 over Canon TS-E option, especially with 150mp sensor. I've never tried HR23 but assuming similar image quality as other HRs.
I hope I can own HR23 someday but getting IQ4150 is my priority at this moment.

I think this is correct. I have both the Canon and HR23. The Canon is great for some extreme POV effects, but the HR23 seems to resolve better, and I like its color better. I have not tried either with my IQ4 yet though.

Nice embassy, but the only things that reminds my home are the chairs. At least I have one similar chair
