How many tilt shift or Shift lenses are available in K mount? I am aware of some tilt shift adapter for old pentacon mount Zeiss jena lenses. But I don't think they really count.

[photoptimist]

The only two I know about are:

1) Pentax K SMC M 28 f/3.5 shift (only)

2) Rokinon Tilt-Shift 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC

Agree with you that anyone serious about shift lenses is not well served by the alignment and tolerance issues introduced by an adapter...

So, AFAIK, the very old Pentax K28 Shift and the current Samyang/Rokinon 24 Tilt/Shift are your only direct K-mount options. Both are considered good for their designated purpose, but probably not quite exceptional. Keep in mind that the Samyang/Rokinon will give you full A lenses metering capability - if that is a consideration for you.

Hi,

There is a Pentax 6x7 75mm f4 Tilt and Shift lens which you can use on 35mm equipment with a Pentax 6x7 to 35mm adapter.

Regards.

I think Schneider made 3 tilt shift lenses in K mount. I saw it. I mean online. But never have I seen them listed on eBay or any other website. They were all priced 3K $. But haven't read much about them. Although they were released in 2014. Who knows where they disappeared.

Not exactly. I think Schneider also made 3 of those in K mount.

I didn't know about that. Must be super expensive by now.

Here is info on the Schneider Kreuznach lenses. AFAIK only the 50 & 90 were made in K-mount, not the 28mm (which isn't in this PDF)

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but with this adapter a whole lot of Hasselblad lenses can be used as K mount tilt/shift lenses.

This is the only go-to T/S lens for Pentax, IMO:

Whether one can find one is another issue...

Some time ago on a cold wet winter evening I did a series of web searches to try and answer this very question. Below is the list of what I came up with for K mount:

Not exactly a tilt-shift...but there is also the Lensbaby Composer Pro II.

or you could always try "freelensing" ! How-to: Freelensing | B&H Explora

[deus ursus]

With the sensor shift functionality in the K-5 and onwards you can use any K-mount lens as a shift lens, to some degree at least. :-)

[disconnekt]

If your looking for "Available now to buy", the only lens I know of is the Samyang 24mm f/3.5 T/S. You can add the Laowa 14mm f/4 1:1 Macro + Shift (no tilt) lens, though the "Shift" aspect of the lens only works on cropped sensor cameras.
