That third shot is great, especially considering it is just a 'test image'!
Lucky shot... I stopped along the road on my way home from work for a few minutes only. Glad you like it!

Well done...I've been thinking of doing something similar with my M645 lenses for years.
I had the 45mm f2.8 N but it was soft compared to my 35mm format 50's so I sold it.
The one I'd like to get for tilt/shift experiments is the 35mm f3.5.
Thanks Alf. Mine is the C. Have not done a controlled test but it looks sharp so far. At least sharp enough for this :-)

Bloody cool. A MacGuyver T/S !
I love that last shot.
Thanks! MacGuyver T/S. Good one. I might have to rename it :-)

I like it too! It's not as secure as a Mirex, but it gives you a lot more movement, with more artistic possibilities. I really like it. Simple and effective. Well done.
I wanted the tilt and was going to get the Lensbaby composer. What I don´t like is the swirly oof areas of the babys. I get seasick... Tilt with a good lens gives smoother oof areas.
I might get the mirex depending on how much I will use tilt. I have owned the 24 TS-e and 90 TS-e before. While beeing great lenses I could not justify the cost...

Andreas,
Do the folds of the lens pouch ever interfere with the image?
It did at first. I think this photo was taken before tweaking. I glued the pouch on the outside so that the folds were streched out and now I can move it around without interferemce. The surgery was done a the mount side.
I can provide more photos of the beast later. I have not had time to shoot. Too much stuff at work...

Excellent idea! thanks for sharing, now i will have some use for those old contax pouches
I have a few of those but I took a no name for the test. I might pimp it with the contax pouch later...

The Franken-Tilt has been in the bag since I got the Rollei. This morning I did put it to work. Will post some photos later. My toes are still frozen...

Several of the 645 lenses lend themselves to this use on DSLR FF; the lens signature is very stately, indeed very medium format.
Bokeh, obviously fundamental to TS OOF effects, is to quite a degree personal preference, but bokeh of lenses like the 80mm f1.9 looks pretty special - and so does the images above. My guess is there is a common look - the images all have that 'thick' feel.
Very nice work, Anden. I love the receding street lights in #4.

Thank you Philip!
Here is a few from this cold morning in Malmö.
The tall building is the Turning Torso. Other photos of it can be found in the Zuiko 18/3.5 thread.

These are really nice! I am in Copenhagen today and was in Malmo yesterday... Quite windy, chilly weather. Beautiful area though.

Thanks Drew. It is not very useful for static, long exposure stuff at the moment. Any tips for improvement is very welcome.

could you attach the legs of a beefy (dismantled) gorilla-pod to the two ends so you can fix it in position?

The thought has crossed my mind but I have not yet tried it. Thanks for the tip!
