Hi!
I've bought a whole set Kiev 88 lenses: 30/3.5, 45/3.5, 65/3.5, 80/2.8, 150/2.8 and 250/3.5
I would love to use them with Tilt/Shift adapter on E-Mount
Only way I've found so far is

Kiev 88 - P6 Adapter

Shift Adapter P6 - Canon EF

Canon EF - Sony E-Mount Adapter
I already have one

Does anyone know a better or cheaper solution?

If you need Tilt and Shift at the same time, you need the following adapter.

Thank you for sharing that one, for some reason I haven't seen one which offers both tilt and shift.
Shift would be very useful indeed. I will consider that but combined with customs duty it will be pretty expensive for an adapter I would only use rarely (I would use shift even less than tilt)

What do you think of using cheap chinese E-Mount - Canon/Nikon etc. adapters with tilt?
Might these be stable enough to hold these medium format lenses from 45-80mm reliable?
I could pick up one of these locally very cheap http://www.ebay.de/itm/Tilt-adapter-fur-Nikon-Objektiv-an-Sony-NEX-E-Mount-TILT-Nikon-Sony-NEX-Adapter-/280818431340?pt=DE_Foto_Camcorder_Adapterringe&hash=item416215356c
And then stacking it with http://www.dvdtechnik.com/?p=acc&cur=usd

I never use any tilt or shift adapter. It may works fine if you do not use the adapter as the pivot. There are always better one like this Click here to see on Ebay . You have to try how long they will last. Wink I would suggest you ask for FF compatibility before you buy because I am not sure if their design will cause any vignetting on A7(R).

Use the ebay tag if possible. It even works with ebay.de now Click here to see on Ebay .
