Not to cut off my nose to spite my face, I have been exploring the DSLR logic with the Sony Alpha 7Rii.
Found an awful lot of very positive reviews on it, and an old buddy of mine has been shooting it for landscape since it came out
with he Canon TC lenses and loves it..
So, I placed an order with B&H and late last night UPS delivered:
Sony Alpha 7Rii, Nikkor 19mm Tilt/Shift and the Fotodiox adapter that both their sales and technical personnel said would work.
Impressions:
Wow, opened the Alpha box and first impression was amazed by it's size - TINY compared to what I lug around with the H5D 50 WiFi.
Nikkor lens looked great.
Charged up a battery, mounted all great AND ........... Fotodiox will not work with Nikkor 19! (had this confirmed with another post earlier this morning here on LL)
BUT, I must admit to liking the feel of the Alpha, and the GUI I actually prefer to the Hassie.
So, will return the Nikkor 19 and bring in other Sony lenses to test this puppy out.
Now, lenses I'm thinking of bringing in for test, and keep if the test gives me enough quality to satisfy the Arch. marketplace (I know, I'm just rethinking my prior stand on this. Go for 95% of the market place demand and just enjoy the journey.)
IF I start with the following, and then add the Nikkor 19 when an adapter becomes available that is excellent quality, if not, add the Canon 17TC:

Seems I'd have a decent arsenal for landscape and Architectural work.
Thoughts from those that shoot the "little cameras" for arch work would be appreciated.
