Just to be clear, I am actually going to be using a dual shift adapter on my Leica SL and I have been looking at wide angle options with the ability to control the aperture as well as get a little bit of movement in the 19-24mm range. Due to the relative specificity of the requirements, it is difficult to fins all these lenses on one place to test out, and ordering/returning lenses until I find the right one is not really practical considering the availability of some of them. So thats why I am making this request here, hoping that the collective, so to speak, may be able to offer some samples or data that may shed some light (pun intended).
My first choices, which I am already feeling may not work but want to make sure:
Leica R 19mm
Leica R 21mm
Leica R 24mm
Leica R 21-35mm
Some other ideas:
Rokinon Cine 20mm (Cine lenses have aperture rings)
Rokinon Cine 24mm (Cine lenses have aperture rings)
Nikon 17-35mm D
Nikon 20mm D
Nikon 24mm D
Zeiss 18mm ZF.2
Zeiss 21mm ZF.2
Zeiss 18mm ZE
Voigtlander 20mm (Nikon Mount)
Sigma 20mm Art (to use with Nikon G lever type aperture adapter)
Sigma 24mm Art (to use with Nikon G lever type aperture adapter)
Tokina 16-28mm (to use with Nikon G lever type aperture adapter)
Nikon 14-24mm (to use with Nikon G lever type aperture adapter)
Or any other lenses you might possibly think of...
Of course I know I can easily cover the image circle and have a mechanical aperture with certain medium format lenses, but the widest I believe I can go is 35mm.
