Photoskeptic Posted January 31, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I realize with the lens so close to the body it might be darn near impossible, but I'm just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted January 31, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2010 Not me: it seems stupid to want movements on a camera that doesn't have through-the-lens viewing. But most if not all T&S lenses made for "35mm" and "medium format" cameras can be attached to an M body using suitable adapters (e.g. M-body to F-mount for Nikkors).

jpattison Posted January 31, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2010 Or an R 35mm PA f4, or R 28 PC f2.8 via a 22228 Leica adapter (it was originally for a Leicina 8mm movie camera) I have used both, to photograph churches (guess the view) or make stitchable pans after scanning. Here's a 35mm PA shot (excuse the hair!) on an M6 with shift.... John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted January 31, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2010 If you had a T/S lens on an M, you wouldn't be able to frame, focus or meter accurately. Other than that, it would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, even though I posted this in the film section, I think it would work on an M8 as you could check everything on the LCD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpattison Posted February 1, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 1, 2010 I found that metering on the M6 was fine, if you checked it before shift, and after shift, and chose an exposure in between. At closed down aperture of course. The 35 f4 is only closed down aperture (like M lenses) but the 28 PC Shift lens has a lever to allow SLR focusing at 2.8, whilst the lens is closed down. Just make sure this is operated to allow the lens to be closed down in use. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
