Wonderful photos. Just my thing.

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

What a wonderful day you had to capture these images, Peter. Churchyards and old church exteriors, and their interiors if they are open (rare during the pandemic), are probably the photographic subjects I enjoy most and I appreciate these - thank you. But I don't have a shift lens (one day perhaps), so I have to straighten them in software; is there one for K-mount APS-C?

(P.S. I think Shelley needs a slight clockwise rotation.)

What a beautiful set and though digitized for our enjoyment, you've kept that lovely retro colour/tonal quality of film, fab!
Looks like you had an enjoyable day out

Pentax made a 28mm shift lens which although not very wide works fine in most cases. I was selling one but no one here bit so I have just sold it on ebay. There are Samyang and Laowa shift lenses in K-mount but I have no first hand experience of them. The Laowa is a 15mm lens so plenty wide enough for APS-C.

I have the Samyang 24mm TS lens which is very sharp and has proved excellent for buildings. It ideally has to be used on a tripod and of course you don’t have the problem of cropping as you get with software correction. The only issue I have is the control knobs are a bit small and fiddly but I have found that using my left hand to help lift the lens in shift mode works fine. It is designed for FF and I use it on a K1 and when the subject justifies it, like a church interior, in pixel shift so it should be ok on an APS-C body as well.
It is of course a manual lens for focus and aperture control but the wide angle give good depth of field, and distortion is minimised as you set it up perfectly level and then frame using the shift function.
