i've been thinking about this for sometime - is it possible to use a tilt and shift (also known as pc perspective control lens) with a 35mm adapter? I think if it is possible to use a t&s lens then it might produce some very interesting results. I'm thinking in particular of using the Nikon 85mm pc lens.
What thinks the crowd here - an interesting experiment perhaps. Anyone have some screen shots from this lens used in conjunction with a 35mm adapter?
 
I've used a Century Swing & Shift lens on 16 and 35 film shoots - it is a great effect. It was a very popular look about 10 years ago, giving a dreamlike quality. Using one with an adapter would probably work nice if you had a solid rig with a set of long rails. It does add a bit more gear to what could already be a difficult to manage rig.
 
I'm sure you'd get some good results. I'd love to try my M2 with one of those lenses, but I just can't afford them right now. If someone has a Nikon and is in the LA are let me know. I'd be happy to meet to check out the results.
