I aspire to owning one of these, one day, so have a small amount of research on them:
Schneider Optics also make the
PC SUPER-ANGULON 28mm f2.8 in a Pentax K mount - but that's a shift lens not a tilt-and-shift. And costs $2264.
Arax of the Ukraine also make a number of shift and tilt-shift lenses in K mount (35mm f2.8 for $685, 80mm f2.8 for $459). They're somewhat less expensive than the aforementioned Hartblei range (with reason).
More interestingly, perhaps, arax make an adaptor for using medium format Pentacon Six lenses on a K mount body, in both a tilt and a shift version ($85 and $129 respectively). Pentacon Six lenses go down to 30mm (fisheye).
I've been toying with getting an Arsat 30mm f3.5 and the tilt adaptor - but should really wait until I can afford the 'real thing' - either the Arax 35mm or the Hartblei 35mm. The Hartblei is better, since it offers tilt and shift on independent axes - the only TS lens to do so I think.
Quote: But a new DA15 or 20mm/4 with both tilt and shift should be nice...
I won't hold my breath for one of those being released by Canon or Nikon, let alone Pentax...
Originally posted by Bophoto I've also heard mention of Pentax having once made a 35mm shift lens, but have no hard evidence. Could be confusion with the f3.5 I guess.
