Interesting stuff. I was reading a book on architectural photography just after I got my shift lens and the writer said that when using a shift lens you eliminate most of the distortion but you need to leave a little or you can get a slightly unreal feeling.

I have the 75mm shift lens (the most recent lens I purchased) I have only used it a couple of times so far - trying to get a lighthouse to stand upright rather than slouching into the middle of the photo.
I have used my 67 lenses on a 35mm camera using the adapter which works if you meter with the lens fully open.
The guy at luminous landscape used to use a 645 camera as a backup for his 67 and he also used the adapter - he talks about it on his website and should answer most of your questions.
The magnification issue of 67 lenses on a 645 will be an advantage when shooting wildlife. I am waiting for the 645 digital, I will then get the adapter and stick my 400mm lens. My plan is then to spend a week or two in the very North of Japan taking photos of the red capped cranes dancing.

P.S. I put up some new photos of Kobe on my website - please check them out

Would be lovely. And hopefully my first ever digital camera - that is unless they announce they are making a 67 digital body
