The most value added for me when buying a mirror less body is a tilt adapter -
when I want all faces in focus, use with long focals, short distance and large aperture openings.
Here use with sony nex, tilt adapter, pentax 85mm f2, almost max tilt.
Same lens, same distance, same aperture but with no tilt.

The way I see it, that's exactly what tilt is for. Of course, it has other uses, but I thought this was the original idea behind it.
I stand to be corrected.

I also saw some less attractive portraits using tilt lately 
Like all tools, it should not over done. I like my photos coming out naturally unnoticable.
Riku,
I have 2 tilt adapters both bought from EzFoto, amazon.com, for a while back, one for pentax, one for nikkor. For m42 mount, I am using pentax m42-K adapter on.
When using with nikkor 28/3.5 shift, it becomes an ultimate cityscape tool.

Which focal lengths do you find most useful for tilt use? If tilt is used as depth of field control in low light, would it be good with 50/1.4? |

the widest i have used is 20mm at close range, wide and fast is 35/1.4 ais at f1.4. the fastest normal is pentax 50/1.2 at f1.2 with great outcome. the longest is 135mm and often around 85-90mm. also perfect for small items macro. depends on the distance, fstops can be selected to suite the subjects. two persons are ok, but three or more would be very difficult to line up all faces in one line.
