Now another little detail..... about the flexible parts..... One of the problems with these makeshift flexible parts is the use of a tripod.... If you are going to sight through your camera and use shift and tilt, you will need to bolt down the camera to a tripod. No big deal. But the lens must remain in the position you wish until you snap the pix. How do you get a flexible thingie to remain fixed? You would need to somehow grab the lens part with respect to the body, and hold it in a particular orientation..... How will you accomplish this task? Maybe a better idea is the Zork products ( Zorkendorfer) or the use of a adjustable bellows and an enlarging lens.. Nikon made a bellows for this purpose.....It had shift, tilt, etc...... BTW, I went through all of this for my Hasselblad, finally decided to get a Flexbody to do the work for me...It works quite well within its' and the lens' limitations.
