I've read few posts here covering this topic and hoping to get some clarification from you guys.
I'm looking for a way to do tilt and swing with my current setup which is DF+ with Credo 40 (Schneider 80mm LS, Mamiya 35mm, Mamiya 150mm f2.8) for portraits and full body shots in studio situation.
I would love to have Schneider 120 PC TS, but it's way out of my budget.
My research brought me to:
1) Mamiya RZ67 with tilt shift adapter. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the adapter doesn't offer side to side swing. Only upwards/downwards tilt.
2)Fuji GFX680 (Who doesn't want that one?!)
3) Mamiya 645 bellows. This may sounds dumb, but Is it suitable for portraits at all? I understand that once I put something between body and lens it looses infinity focus, but what's the farthest I can focus and still be able to do movements and what would be the best lens which will allow me to do this? Would full body shot be possible with the bellows?
P.S. I'm aware that I will need adapter plates and cables for RZ67 and GFX680.
