Here is the main issue. Why do you need it? I have made a large part of my income daily shooting architecture and interiors with flat stitches from Cannon T/S lenses a Canon 5dII and PS CS5 and never ever worry about parallax problems.

Thanks Torger. Eduardo, do you have a photo of your slider?
I own a Zorkendorfer Shift Adapter which I use to mount Pentax 645 lenses to my 5D - gives me shift, lens mounting to the tripod and rotation of the body around the fixed lens when I want it. I would happily buy more from Mr Zorkendorfer, but what do people think of mounting a Canon TSE lens this way?
Thanks Eduardo for the very clear photos. I have a cheap Chinese 'macro rail' that looks similar, but is not so long. Can you please explain how you use yours to take interior photos for stitching?

Eduardo,
Is the idea that you keep the lens in the one place by moving the camera on the slider in the opposite direction to the horizontal shift of the lens? And do you do this accurately by using the measure on the slider? Or is there another way to know that you have the lens back in its original position?

When not using my alpa's I use the same setup as you Kirk, also on a daily basis - and I have parallex problems from time to time, when not moving the camera to compensate for the lens movement.
So in my opinion it could be needed....

I have heard this from other people but have literally never experienced it. Over the last two weeks I have done probably 2 dozen simple shift stitches, interiors and exteriors, many with close objects and no problems what so ever. Believe me if I ever had a problem I would do something about it, because many things I shoot cannot be reshot or are too expensive to reshoot.
Has anyone had experience with, or know of a review of the Hartblei collar mount for Canon TSE lenses? http://www.hartblei.de/en/canon-tse-collar.htmThe lens can only be shifted left to right (no matter what position the camera is in) so vertical flat stitch using rise/fall is not easily done unless the while collar is mounted sideways and hanging off the head. Allowing the repositioning of the U collar horizontally would have allowed this but they did not include this in the design :( Like Peter, I'll keep going with the X part of the cheap Chinese X-Y translator (which I got for my DSLR based 4x5 scanner :D)
