Re: Experience with Samyang/Rokinon tilt shift on Fuji X

That's a nice summary.

Regarding option 1, the Samyang 24mm T/S lens in X mount, reviews of the lens which I have read last year indicate rather poor optical performance. I would not recommend this lens.

Regarding the IRIX 15mm lens, the lens is manual focus only but at least on the EF mount version does not have its own aperture control ring. So you would be stuck with whatever aperture the lens is set to.

I don't know about aperture control on the Nikon F mount or Pentax K mount versions of this lens (also note that there is a somewhat cheaper version of this lens).

With dumb adapters, pay close attention to focus and aperture control on the lenses.

The advantage of these adapters though is that you can easily achieve T/S with a number of different lenses and focal lengths.

There may be some very good all-manual medium format lenses available with a large image circle, and a matching version of the Fotodiox adapter.
