Tilt question?

Don't worry, if you let Ken influence you to go Rodie 32/90, you'll still want something in between like the SK60 if you can still get one. Dante is alive and well here ... :thumbup::ROTFL:

(Btw I still cast a pox on the scumbags who stole my Alpa 32/90 combo!)
Yeh, thanks Graham... Really sad about the theft btw.

and at that point, you really just need to add the Rodie 23mm to complete the set and have the widest of wides at hand just in case :)

Well its probably fortunate that I will be building a new house before too long. Would be an absolute shame if it went over budget...

I had the 23mm Rodie for a few years but traded it when I went to the Alpa FPS and Canon 17TSE & 24TSE combo. As great as the 23mm was, before the new coatings at least, it had flare issues and basically no movements. For not much more really than my Alpagon 23HR I transitioned to a true super wide outfit with movements.

Agreed, the 23 is a princess most of the time. What did you end up going with?

OK so my disclaimer: I'm a dumb &ss when it comes to this tech cam business but am trying to learn.

As for tilt would it be feasible to tilt a digital back (IQ series)on a body ( XF/DF+) by means of say an adjustable adapter or even a fixed 1 degree adapter being that 1 degree is a very common adjustment?

Not practical with xf/df due to the mount clips and electrical connecting pins plus lack of access I would think.

Canon 17TSE & 24TSE on Alpa FPS. Unfortunately it means that I use two tech systems with the Actus DB+ & Alpa FPS for superwide with movements.

Like Graham said the connections would be difficult. But also as soon as you add an adapter in there you are no longer able to focus at infinity. you would have to make an adapter that had zero depth.

It's probably not possible but something that combines the tilt/shift functions of a technical camera and the tools and viewfinders of the XF would really be something for the Inferno....

A Schneider / Phase One 35 or 40mm with tilt/shift would cause a disruption of the force in my wallet ... :thumbup: Even a 50mm actually.
