I mean the heavier the lens, the heavier the adapter .. until the the whole camera and tripod tilts forward.

Try to get from UK, usually shipping cost is very reasonable.

The Mir, Arsat, photex and other Kiev/Pentacon lenses are ok. Stay away from their wider angle lenses as they aren't sufficiently sharp and you'll notice quite a bit of loss in contrast at the corners. Also when used in a tilt/shift set-up these lenses flare horribly with a good amount of lateral chromatic aberration. I would probably opt for Mamiya 64 lenses as they are quite sharp and have nice contrast and color reproduction. I haven't used a Mirex adapter though, so for all I know they may have the same problems. |
