Pictures from the Olympus/Panasonic booth at CP+
The japanese website DC.watch posted a nice set of image samples from the Micro Four Thirds booth at CP+ in Yokohama.
As you can see from the image above the new Micro Four Thirds member Komamura showed the “TS-Pro” which is a shift adaptor for Nikon F lenses! The video below shows it better (in japanese).
I want to thank all 43rumors reader that sent me links to interesting news. You helped me a lot!

It’s mostly just an explanation to accompany his movements, but at the end he notes that both the front and back mounts can be changed. So this device can be used on systems other than micro 4/3 as well, and can take a variety of lens mounts on the front, such as Nikon, Canon and Pentax.

I don’t know of any <15mm lenses that project a large image circle required for tilt/shift application.

That tool is great nonetheless. As the video show, it is not too big for the AG AF-100.
Then even for the tiniest bodies, there are tons of reasons you may want quality TS. Are you going to buy a Canon FF and a TS lens just for that when your investment is in m43?
Is it a niche market? Absolutely. Who is going to complain?

2 years ago |Tilt shift is so easy to do, and to do very well in Photoshop, why do people bother with these setups, or the Tiltbaby lenses?

2 years ago |While T/S can be tedious to setup (and I’d never use a setup like above), just try using one of Nikon’s or Canon’s T/S lenses and you’ll see. Using just the shift function, you can take three photos that stitch together much easier than panning. As for tilt & shift, you can change the plane of focus to be something other than an even plane of distance from your camera. You can’t focus and out-of-focus part of your image in post. It’s more than just making a building’s lines vertical.

2 years ago |This set up is mainly for video use where it is very popular in the film industry to use it for effect. You need to have access to the controls whilst filming. Something that you can’t do in Photoshop. This kit is going to be aimed at directors of photography and cameramen. It can be used for stills but this won’t be it’s main market.
