NEX tilt adapter on A7/r?

there are cheap tilt adapters for SLR lenses available for NEX. I wonder how well they would work or not when used on a FF A7/r. Has anyone tried?

Never tired but I am pretty sure most of them are not designed for FF. Lenses within 60mm may not have enough coverage when tilted. Even you put a shift lens on the tilt adapter, the interior size of the adapter may block part of the image.

I have one gathering dust in the cupboard. However, if you adapt a larger lens to the Nikon mount, and then onward to the T/S, you sidestep the image circle problem, and there's enough room internally to accommodate some movement.

I have a cheap chinese one for Nikon-NEX, works without problems on A7 with lenses which have enough coverage.
It's similar or identical to this one Click here to see on Ebay.de

with Nikon 180/2.8 ED
With slightly stronger tilt it starts to vignett heavily due an internal shade of the lens. But that has nothing to do with the adapter Wink

pentax tilt adapter on a7r does not vignette.
