Idem to you; a very elaborated and helpful addition to this thread.
The moustache distortion is indeed evident as soon as you pointed it out. A shame.

Is there a specific reason people tend to go for the Nikon mount rather than Canon EF f.e.?

Are you talking about the adapter or the dedicated tilt/shift lenses?

In my own case I happen to be a Nikon shooter with Nikon lenses. So the Nikon mount adapter makes sense. If I had no full frame gear at all I don't know which adapter I would pick. I think the Nikon mount may make sense because there is a lot of Nikon manual focus gear out there with aperture rings.

If I was a Fujifilm owner exclusively, but wanted to buy a dedicated t/s lens I might go the Canon route. The 17mm is wider, which is slightly better for APS-C. Overall, the Canon t/s offerings were historically better than Nikon. It wasn't until the Nikon 19mm that they finally decoupled the axes for tilt and shift. The 19mm is a beauty of a lens.

The adapter, yes. Although I just realised that Kipon for example doesn't make a Canon EF to Fuji X tilt/shift adapter. So that rules out that option
I have a little bit of Nikon gear but that's all dx. So I thought about Canon cause if I were to change to a different platform for FF, I think I'd go Canon simply for the bigger variety of lenses. And with the RF mount perhaps there's some good second hand EF deals to be found.
Anyway, curious to try one of the adapters first tbh based on what I've seen in this topic.

Based on your other response, if you just want to try this out to see how well it works maybe you should just go cheap with the Fotodiox version.  Maybe you can find a used Laowa Zero-D lens in F mount for a good price.   I looked at KEH and the widest Nikon MF Ai lens they have right now is only 24mm.  Only $200 though.
