Shift Lenses on u4/3rds

[jmooney]

Hi All,

I love my G2 but the one thing that I haven't quite nailed down yet is a lens with some perspective controls. Is anyone working with one? If so how's it going? Due to being able to adapter basically any lens in the world to a G2 I'm sure there are plenty of options but I can't really find much out there by anyone with some experience.

I'm looking to use it for architecture and landscape, I'm not really into the latest craze of using them to make everything look like a model railroad layout....

Any info or advice is much appreciated.

Jim

I have a Canon 35/2.8 Tilt and Shift lens that I like a lot.

There is a m4/3 shift adapter available on evilbay for various lenses. I got one that does both OM and Canon. Its sorta cheap and nasty. I picked it up for about a hundred and twenty dollars just for giggles to see what it would do but soon realized that I don't do much of that sort of photography or perhaps it was just too limiting by available glass. Seeing that the shortest Olympus OM mount lens I have is 35mm, with the 2x crop of the panasonic - the field if view on that lens just seems too narrow if I ever get the temptation to use it for architecture. Plus it all gets kinda heavy dangling off the front of my GF1. Chalk that one up to experience. Most of my purchases are seriously considered but that wasnt one of them so I'm back to sitting on the fence.
