1. Tilt adapters for full frame lenses to mirrorless APS-C (m4/3) are fine (expensive though) but what we really need is a Shift adapter. This way we could experience lens and it's edges. Stitch two photos using tripod and cover full frame Smile!

2. Adapters with adjustable flange! No more infinity issues.

3. Add your suggestion Smile.

tilt adapters and yes, cheap heliocoid adapters for infinity focus issues and short focus range / macro shots!
I'd love to have an adapter, a piece between the NEX5N camera and it's EVF which acts as a flash trigger

Exakta Minolta adapter which allowed Exakta lenses to be used on Minolta cameras. The originals are rare as hens teeth.
I wish they would reproduce these.

You can already buy M42 focusing helicoids like this - http://www.rainbowimaging.biz/shop/product.php?id_product=371

Ever since I saw this thread, I've been intrigued by the idea of the double focusing helicoid:

That's a lot of extension in a compact package. Wouldn't it be great to get a M42 superhelicoid like that for enlarger lenses or just as a replacement for tubes/bellows. It doesn't look that hard to manufacture either.

And they fetch a premium, whoever did this could make a healthy margin on the first few hundred adapters.

Ditto for FD - Exakta and Konica - Exakta adapters.

I would like another choice of leitax mounts.
sorry leitax. I have 20+ OM lenses, but only 2 leitax mounts. Too costly to buy more...

Olympus OM to Pentax K
Contax CY to Pentax K

Tilt adapter on Sony Nex with LOCK.

First priority: Lock function at zero tilt, to avoid unwanted/accidental tilt

Second priority: Lock function at some angle, no need to click in. Focus plan changes exponentially at higher tilt angles. A strong screw knob is OK.

More Tilt-Shift and Helicoid adapters of all kind Smile

My apology to Leitax but more choices of Leitax typed Sony A mount adapters. Example Contax C/Y to A mount, Nikon to A mount etc. Maybe even non glass Olympus to A mount.

I think this is much better than an adapter . Adjustments are easy and precise . No need for reframing or refocusing when tilting & swinging , 15 mm shift on any direction and much more . See http://forum.mflenses.com/diy-d-slr-to-view-camera-conversion-t50472.html .
