I would appreciate any recommendations on books/reviews/websites dedicated to tilt and shift photography. I am using a Hasselblad H3D 39 and am currently "playing" with the new HTS adapter Richard
I had three Sinars before I bought my H3D11-50, so I suppose I was biased towards "proper" view cameras before I read about the HTS... but if you had inquired about it before buying it...
Having said that, it might be a cost-effective tool for what you want.
The Flexbody was (is) a good cost-effective tool, as it gives (on the 120 Macro-planar at least) useful movements without the cost of additional lenses.
Have you got Harold Merklinger's book "focusing the View camera"? This is the bible.
