Once you've had a chance to test out your 35mm shift, do please post up some thoughts and results. I bought a nearly mint version of the 35mm shift because it was reviewed so well on the 16:9 website; it was the "right" one per the advice on that site. Unfortunately, the one I tested was not good at all -- very soft and not good in the shifted portion. It was very strange. My OM 28/3.5 shifts vastly better on my Kipon T/S adapter than the OM 35/2.8 shift. In fact, because the performance was so poor on that one copy I tested, I went with a Canon FD 35mm t/s lens, which is mounted on my Fuji X-T2 via a Fotodiox shift adapter (making it very flexible).
Good luck. I hope your copy is much better than mine was!

I just picked up my Olympus 35mm shift and a tilt adapter. Should arrive in the mail this coming week!
Oh dear...now I'm a bit nervous!
Perhaps the 35 Shift has similar issues as with the Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 which I have heard is hit or miss in terms of quality control. The copy I'm waiting for in the mail is the multi-coated version from the late 80's. We'll see...and I'll certainly report back.
