[Nikon Z] This is a part I bought from Fotodiox to match a lens from B&H. It deserves a review. The adapter is beautifully machined, but with this gear your expectations should be reasonable. There are advantages for architecture and limitations.


You can use varied lenses and the part is light and compact, deciding factors for me. It adjusts four ways including aperture. The screw is for tilt!


The amount of shift you can get away with depends on the lens. For example with my 21mm on f.f. as shown s.o.c.. I get 5mm in landscape mode. (Without shift the tree reaches the top of the frame). That is a useful amount to move the horizon, while keeping perspective. Maximum shift is 10mm, better with longer lenses.



O.t.o.h., you cannot tilt in parallel with shift. That happens at right angles. The part pairs to 35mm sensor optics, not medium format. From weight, precision and price pick any two. Regards, C.

[Nikon Z] With so many similar cameras and lenses out there, this is a great way to create with a tool unique gear setup. I originally just wanted to adapt my Nikkor-S 50mm f1.2 lens to my Fujifilm X-E2, just to use the Fuji a bit more. Once I saw tilt-shift was an option, I went for it, and am having a lot of fun with this creative tool. The adapter is easy to use and well built. I look forward to maybe buying more to create new setups!

[Nikon Z] I use this when I do product photography. A lot of times I have to take advantage of the Scheimpflug principal to maximize depth of field on a flat subject. The adapter allows me to do that. Also all the other view camera move like shift are fully functional, with the use of the a full frame Nikkor lens, because of the larger view circle compared to the aps-c lens

[Nikon Z] I knew that the tilt-shift lens would be a challenge but I found a website called Northlite Images with an enormous amount of information. After several trials, I learned the technique. Which I have to say was well worth the effort. I do product photography for my partner's ETSY website and encounter a myriad of items to photograph I find that the tilt-shift had improved my composition shots right off the bat.

[Nikon Z] I have been wanting to try one of these tilt/shift lens adapters for a while but was hesitant. I have several older Mamiya lenses and I have been using them with a M645 to XID Fotodiox lens adapter on my Hasselblad X1D. I almost purchased (and may still purchase) one of these adapters for my X1D, but I purchased a new Fujifilm GFX 100s and figured now would be a good time to try one, especially with the 100mb sensor. Now that I have one, I can't believe I didn't purchase one earlier. It is solid and built like a tank. It did take a while to figure out how to use it, but once i got it down, I have had no issues. if you are on the fence about purchasing one, I say go for it.

[Nikon Z] I bought it to use with my Canon R5C.
Adapter fits perfectly, and works excellent in every meaning.
Tilt/shift/rotate knobs and movements are smooth and accurate.

I am happy, as I will be able to use my Pentax 645 lenses for all tasks of interior and architectural photography and videography.

[Nikon Z] I am amazed with this TS adapter. It is far better than the other brand that I have been struggling with.
The TLT ROKR has solid lens mounts on both ends and both movements work fine. I will give them an A+

[Nikon Z] I got this adapter to be able to keep Pentax 645 (35mm, 45-85mm, 80-160mm) lenses with their lovely color and film-like rendering working for Tilt and shift applications on Sony 61MP sensor. (Focus stacking isn't the best choice for everything). It works very well: the optical quality of the lenses with the adapter's range of movement is satisfyingly and usefully high. The build quality of the adapter is quite good AFAIK, and the machining of the mount is suitably precise for accurate mounting without wobble. The controls and locks are a bit fiddly: like any and every T/S lens, adapter, or view camera I've ever used, and probably require a careful touch. (I expect an idiot could damage it by over-tightening, like any T/S lens or adapter). The tripod mounting foot is absolutely necessary to carry the weight and balance the up to 1.1 kg weight of some of my lenses. And while it’s a bit of a chore to work with the Sony's focus assist and futzing the adapter to get the kind of precision necessary for accurate focus: that's the nature of the beast. Its probably less difficult than my less sharply remembered days with a 4x5, a loupe on the glass, and a cloth over my head: So, well worth the effort for still-lifes or landscapes that benefit from a large format like tilted plane of focus or for big shifts with architecture. I'm quite pleased that FotodioX has made an adapter that is up to the job.
