Kipon T/S adapter

Consider a Kipon tilt/shift adapter for Fuji-X.  I have one.  Works great.  Mine is for adapting Nikon F mount lenses.  So any F mount lens can become a tilt-shift lens on a Fujifilm X-mount body.  I used it with a Samyang 14mm lens to get a 21mm field of view equivalent.  But any focal length will work.

Here's the caveat, however.  You will not really be able to use any lens correction profiles when using the adapted lenses when shifted (or tilted).  Therefore, when the intended use is to shift the lens you are best off to use a very well corrected lens or you may get noticeable distortion with things like architecture that have straight lines.
