Some good stuff there Matt. My only problem is that I'm bidding on a couple of Rodagons right now on eBay (for bellows use) and this'll be driving their prices up!

Nice if you can find one for a decent price! Still missing the tilt though unfortunately...

LOL @ Gartmore. Dya wanna lend it me to try it out?
Yet it's the tilt that I find the most interesting, rather than shift
Hefty - LOL! It could do too! I was checking them out too after seeing the article

There were a few of these for sale on ebay about a year ago but I haven't seen one since. I requested a tilt-shift in the Pentax questionnaire!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Sadly on a DSLR a 28mm shift isn't as useful as it is on 35mm! I've always been on the hunt for a 55mm Hartblei Super Rotator for the 645, still might buy a Lensbaby though.

I've got a Lensbaby, it's fun for a while but it's a bit fiddly for precise work like macros. I've always fancied a Hartblei but they seem to be thin on the ground (and expensive!) now too...
@ Matt - you wouldn't want any of the ones on there right now, they're all rubbish I heard. Better let someone with a lower budget pick them up instead...

Yes, I do mean the 28mm shift. I emailed Mifsuds about it and got a reply that it is £649, ouch.

Sounds a bargain to me for probably one of the best lenses ever made.

....buy a used large format 5x4 for £150-200 ish... plus you have the lens movements with ALL the lenses you use on it...and they are the easiest of any cameras to use, because they are the simplest. Tricky to hand hold though...
