BTW How do you like the lens?
I sold it a long time ago. I bought it to see if I would use "shift on shift". Turns out, I didn't.
It's a very nice lens. Plenty sharp. I suppose it would be nice to use with the Mirex when you want shift in a different direction than the Mirex offers. That's never come up, but I've never considered it before. Darn! I should have kept it.
(The Mirex gives shift and tilt about the same axis. For example, if it's set up to give tilt "nose down", then it shifts left and right on the horizontal axis. Both motions are on/about the same horizontal axis. This lets you have a left-right shift-pano with constant tilt (useful for some landscape photos), but does not let you shift left-right with tilt about a vertical axis.)
Using the normal M645 lenses with Mirex on my Canon DSLR gives me the movements that I need for most situations. The M645 C 55/2.8N is a lot smaller than the C 50/4 Shift, and at least as good optically. As long as the Mirex gives enough movement (which it usually does for me), then I prefer to use the 55/2.8N. In fact, that 's why I sold the 50/4 Shift.
I also have a M645 Auto Bellows N with substantial front standard movenments, and I can add the Mirex to the back to have front and back standard movements.
