I wonder if a Mirex tilt/shift adapter and a 120mm Mamiya (I already have, and it's sharp, APO, and cheap) or Zeiss medium format lens give me similar results.
One big problem with Mirex is that it seems a little difficult to order, but would be quite flexible since I can get more MF lens at a relatively low price.
For the most flexibility in the smallest system, I'd look to the Cambo Actus Mini or the Chinese knock-offs on eBay, particularly if you're interested in using MF lenses. 40mm total shift, 27mm rise and fall, more tilt and shift than you get on a single-lens PC rig, and you can engage shift, rise or fall, tilt, and swing simultaneously. You won't get that kind of flexibility out of any adapter. Plus, you don't have to worry about adapter thickness messing with your FLE lenses. You use the bellows to get to infinity and then focus with the lens, so no funky adapter-caused field curvature. Pricey, but worth it.
