Okay here goes. Whatever plans I had for GF23, they are gone now. I have an UWA with proper shift now. Samyang 24mm T/S.
Few samples and explanations:
1) F/8, 9mm shift, 2 degrees of tilt, and two stacked 82mm filters (CPL + ND400), cropped to 5:4. Vignetting is mainly caused by the stacked filters.
2) F/11, 9mm shift and 1 degrees of tilt + 82mm CPL filter, full sensor capture without cropping.
3) F/11, 9mm shift, no tilt + 82mm CPL, full sensor capture without cropping.
And now comes the fun part. 100% crops.
1) Foreground stairs at the bottom edge of frame:
2) Main door of the building:
3) Tower part of the upper edge:
4) Badumm Tishh! Far right edge of the shifted frame, upper part:
There is your pocket rocket T/S lens for GFX. I paid few hundred euros for it used and 20€ for the Pentax K -> GFX adapter. It is not any worse than the Canon 24mm TS-E mk2 but actually seems to do better. Just stop it to f/8 or f/11. Without movements it is not any worse than GF30 in sharpness and takes two stacked filters.
The issue here is distortion for architecture stuff but one can always fix it. Another problem may be finding a good copy of Samyang / Rokinon lens which is *very* hard.
