What are the choices for shift lenses on this camera?

Limited options, but here are the ones I'm aware of:

Mamiya 50mm shift (old)
Hartblei 45mm t/s superrotator (new and old)
Phase 120mm t/s (new, but check compatibility with older gen bodies such as the afd)

Hello,

I've owned both the Mamiya 50mm shift and the old version Hartblei 45mm t/s superrotator lens.

The Mamiya is a fantastic lens and is very sharp even shifted in the corners of the frame when stopped down.

The Hartble is a interesting lens if you are into more arty images. It is soft at all apertures in the corners of the frame when shifted.

The Mamiya 50mm shift lens was one of my favourite lenses out of my Mamiya/Leaf Aptus kit

Don't forget maybe the best of the best: the Schneider optics.

Expansive, smart and first class.

I use a zoerk (zörkendorfer) shift adapter which lets me use all of the excellent pentax 67 lenses on the mamiya (45, 55,65…)
