tilt/shift macro for konica lens & camera

thingiverse

Creating a custom tilt/shift adapter requires some advanced engineering skills. Design a 1-inch aluminum base that fits onto your Konica lens, which is already designed to hold the Konica's built-in T/S gear in position when the lens is mounted on camera bodies like those produced by Ricoh or Pentax, including certain models of Ricoh GR digital and the latest series from Pentax K. Next create a spring loaded adapter that slips into the aluminum base at an angle which creates room for a standard camera mount to screw onto your lens allowing you to make 10 degree movements without rotating your tilt/shift in the plane you are trying to focus in, thereby producing unique and dramatic creative effect on images created from it. For instance creating large bokeh while also allowing selective use of focal depth or aperture settings with an f-stop scale on both axis and an integrated T/S control with black plastic pla parts to protect from harsh light and camera elements making for a reliable all-weather system.
