I guess I am supposed to hate you know, Timber ;-). These shots are mighty

knowing that it can be done in Pentax world.

Large Format!  It's probably cheaper than tilt-shift on an SLR.

Actually it's medium format :)

The adapter is quite cheap and can tilt to 8 degrees and rotate a full 360 degrees. It doesn't needs shift mechanics for compensation because the Pentacon Six lenses are designed for 6x6 format. Also there are many very nice lenses for the PSix system (Carl Zeiss Biometar f2.8/80mm is the one I used for the shots... It's an excellent portrait lens and EBay price is around 20-40 USD, but I should mention the Carl Zeiss Sonnar f2.8/180 and f4/300 which are extremely sharp lenses... and can be tilt-rotated with the adaptor too :P) and the Pentacon Six machine is one of the cheapest solution for those who want to try Medium Format photography.

The only 'bad' thing about the PSix lenses: they are huge compared to the 35mm lenses :) Here is my Zebra-Zeiss collection where you can see their size: http://timber.clancode.hu/e107_plugins/coppermine_menu/displayimage.php?pos=-327 (PSix line still missing the 120mm Biometar and Zebra version of 80mm Biometar and a few M42 ones...)

Cheers,
