Re: DIY tilt adapter with larger-format lenses?

I have a couple of purchased adapters that do this with FF lenses on MFT. It was actually the reason I first brought a MFT camera (body & adapter where considerably cheaper than a tilt lens)

There are also a few adapters that allow shift to be implemented but these are much more limited in the mounts available & more expensive.

Over the years I've seen quite a few DIY versions listed in places like instructables.com and have even tried a crude plunger cam version with an enlarging lens.

So far none of the options I've tried has fully lived up to it's promise - the control has not been precise enough. I may just have to arrange a digital camera mount for my large format camera!
