I had heard about this a while back and inquired as to the cost of retrofitting the lenspanel.  I havent heard back, but I'll post as soon as I do.  I'd also love to test before jumping in and potentially damaging my well-set lenses.

For mounting from none TS to TS or from mounting None Cambo to cambo TS ? If it is only none TS to TS, I find it ****** expensive. I think at that point if one really needs Tilt, other cameras are better options.

This is mounting a bare lens so it includes both the mount and the helical focuser

I heard back from my rep who tells me that each remount requires a new helical focuser and the tilt-mount.  Unfortunately that means that even with lenses that are already mounted for the Cambo Wide setup, you'll have to spend $1750 to remount your lenses.  I was also told they are unable to remount any of the 35mm lenses due to the rear element.  

The lenses available are:

28mm
40mm
47mm
72mm

Ah I see, thanks for that.  The lenses I listed are those that are offered pre-fitted.

Still seems a bit steep and I certainly wont be remounting my lenses until someone out there tests the mechanism.

if this is really the actual price for the retrofit of Cambo mounted lenses it's far too expensive.
I've played around with the prototype of the TS panel in summer. By then there was no mechanism for a geared zero position but they told me they were planning to incorporate one. The TS panel felt very precise and solid. However I think in this particular case the proof is how good will it be after weeks or months of use...
