Thanks Attila, do I need to use the two adapter one in top of the other?
and this doesn't change anything?
do you know anybody that is using this set?
Thanks a lot .

Yes , you need to use both. Doesn't change anything, but you will don't have much benefits from this combo. Except if you would like to use as shift lens.

Why, Attila you say that I will not have too much benefit from this combo, unless I don't want to use as shift lens?
can you explain me this concept, please?
thanks for your time

The point is, if you want ot use is as a tilt/shift lens, those adaptors will be useless.
