I realize the thread is about a shift adapter for Canon M cameras, but please consider an alternate way to get similar results. If you have quality EF glass, you likely also have a full frame Canon DSLR. If you do, and it is farily high resolurion, you can shoot with a post processing crop in mind, and get about the same "shift" coverage by cropping to that planned area. Obviously you loose a bit of resolution compared to a real shift on to an M sensor would provide, but you have no adapter involved, and thus much less to worry about. Oh, and it works right now, with full lens control from the camera. ...Show more →
This only works to a tiny degree for individual shots, though might be successful if done with an as-mentioned well thought out panorama stitch.

The other extreme side of the potential for a shift adapter for M cameras if a good one were ever to exist would be combining the adapter with a Canon tilt shift lens, which would provide a lot of shift. I consider that combination a bit over the top, but still, something to think about.
I considered this too .
Still, the idea here is that there are very few actual challenges involved, even for a fully-powered shifting, tilting, rotating adapter. And the crazy thing is that with an active adapter (done properly), live-view contrast AF will still work, as will IS; the idea of using one of Canon's wide stabilized primes to provide for hand-held shots with built-in perspective correction and insane depth of field is tantalizing!
