Hartblei introduces HCam Master TS 14-24mm tilt/shift optic for Sony E-mount

Just saw this on the imaging resource site,

http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/08/14/hartblei-introduces-hcam-master-ts-14-24mm-tilt-shift-optic-for-sony-e-moun

Very interesting to me as I shoot stitched architecture & landscape.

This is the part I am curious about,

"The individual parts that make up the HCam Master TS 14-24mm can also be purchased separately, with the modified Nikon G-ED AFS 14-24mm f/2.8 plus Novoflex F to EF-mount adapter selling for €2,159 ($2,880.) The tilt/shift adapter, which makes it possible to use any Canon EF-mount lens as a tilt/shift optic on Sony E-mount cameras, is available for €425 ($570)."

Never saw this tilt shift adapter before, Canon EF-mount lens as a tilt/shift optic on Sony E-mount cameras.

Really interested if anyone has any insight regarding this adaptor?

Thanks for the link, I did not realize that this "news" was actually a month old.

They partnered with Mirex to make the adapter.  It's a version of the Mirex medium format (P645,M645 and Hassy) to Canon T/S adapters, ie now they make it for EOS lens to Sony E in this version.  They made it for EOS so that most other lenses could be adapted for it (in this case using the Novoflex Nikon-EOS G adapter).    There is more discussion in this earlier thread on GDPI

I had followed the info over on getdpi.  I still can't see using the 14-24 with no shade, as it's terribly flare prone with the tulip.  Such a great lens, I am glad to see that they got it out.
