A real shift adapter. Cool.
The smart lens cap / hood combination looks absolutely brilliant. Just don’t know if a filter can still be put on it, and does it make rotating a polarizer difficult?
AHHHHH! Memories!
I think to see a Nikon AI lens. How I loved these lenses with the aperature control on the outside. Used them on the FTn and on the FE2.
Memories…
However, not going back in time…
Slides… manual focussing… manual lighting… the work to do for showing slides to friends… the storage room needed…
My absolute favourite was the Nikon 85 2.0 AI.
Surely that cap vignettes?
Any news or more information on when the new NEX apps will be coming?

The picture of the boy jumping is demonstrating the new “Motion Shot” app coming to NEX!!!
The tilt appears to be at 90 deg to the shift direction. Not that useful if the direction can not be changed.
Also, the tilt is in front of the tilt. Not good.
I am sure these are due lack of room to make the adapter. I am not at all sure about this design. I hope it gets revised.
Looks almost identical to my Mirex T/S adapter for NEX & m4/3. It works pretty well–the movements appear comparable to dedicated T/S lenses although at the full extent of the shift there’s a lot of flare and things get really soft when dramatically tilted.
