Tilt & Shift Lenses

Does anyone know what tilt and shift lenses Pentax have ever manufactured that will work with K5's and K7.

I appreciate that they won't be autofocus but all other info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There's the SMC Pentax 28mm f3.5 - they are found from time to time but are not cheap.

I'm not sure how much the effect is reduced on APS-C, but in any event there are software solutions in Photoshop that work very well.

Crikey John That was quick!

I know Schnider make one for the K mount, not cheap though. Follow the below link for More info.

Furthermore several tilt and/or shift adapters for medium format lenses on PK exist.

Unfortunately the various 3rd party offerings are not very wide. If you're after a shift lens for architecture the Pentax is the widest. Unfortunately, 28mm isn't all that wide on APSC although I found it worked very well when you had room, e.g., in a cathedral.

As a result, I invested in a 5x4 LF format set-up instead. Still worked out a fraction of the price of buying the Canon TS lens and a body!
