Apparently there is. Someone was discussing them on PentaxForums a few weeks ago I think. Apparently there is more than one manufacturer - they also mentioned Mirex as if they also had a K mount version. I was surprised as I'd never heard of them here. I also thought of Kris, who has often said he lusts after a shift lens. I will see if I still have the link.

Yeah Kris is always talking about that and I can see the practical use, of course it must be usable and not to expensive.
The one showed in my link goes from M645 to M42, you probably need a 645 lens to get decent results don't know how expensive they are?

That adapter works with M42 then one could just put it on an M42->K adapter as it says near the bottom of the review. There are some Mamiya 645 lenses for sale on ebay which seem to be going for reasonable prices. This would seem to be a relatively low cost option......

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

So you're think about it Kris?
If you get one it would be interesting to know what your results are.
Adapter is 294 Euro though
Still a tilt shift lens is in the 1000.

It is tempting, but I have my Horseman now. I just need to buy the BTZS developing tubes. On the other hand it would be fun. But then... well maybe... yes but... oh fooey.
I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

Kris you could probably put it on the bill for the archaeology that you do, you know such a shift/tilt lens would be very handy photographing sites and artefacts

I wouldn't mind that I would lose infinite focus as long as I can reach the hyperfocal.
