Hmm. The mirex link got garbled, but here’s the non-translated version:

http://www.mirex-adapter.de/tilt_shift_adapter.htm

Haul it into Google translator if needed. The folks at Mirex don’t have a perfect command of the English language, but it’s miles ahead of my German. If you have any questions, just zip them an e-mail. And they now accept Pay-pal, which is a lot easier than their previous arrangement via the banks.

No problem. Here they are.

For the Mirex:

For the Zork:

I should also mention that the Zork has an ungainly screw mechanism that makes the unit and camera difficult to pack in a limited space.

That’s great info Evan — Thanks so much for sharing it. Just curious might you also have exact links for the Zork and Mirex adapters?

Thx again!

I received a Mirex tilt-shift adapter from Germany a couple of weeks ago (to use my old Mamiya manual focus lenses with a Canon 5D). I was very impressed with the build quality (much better than the Zork shift adapter which I also ordered), price (about $500) and functionality. The tilt has gradations marked on it and a screw for adjusting the friction on the mechanism. The shift has click stops at the millimetre marks. http://evanbedford.com/gx680.htm I’ve included some shots I did with the tilt at the link above. I even used a Mamiya shift lens on the shift adapter, which really boosts the shift to levels more typical with view cameras.

Superb podcast Marko. I’ve been dreaming about that Nikon 24mm Tilt-shift lens so it was great to hear Darwin and you discuss the in & outs of using a TS.

Thanks

Fantastic podcast. Darwin is an amazing teacher. I had never thought of getting a tilt shift lens but now I might just do so.

Great Podcast. I too have been on workshop and at seminars with Darwin. He is one of if not the best landscape photographer around. This is another example of him sharing his knowledge and talent with the rest of us. Again great podcast, keep them coming.

Hi, yet another great podcast Marko! I have never been very familiar with tilt-shift lenses, the only thing i knew about them was the miniature-model effect. I have always thought post-processing in photoshop could create the same effect. But after seeing the sample photos for this podcast and listening to Darwin Wiggett i realise that there is much more to these lenses. Too bad they are so expensive! Would have been fun to play around with one once in a while.
