A wicked thought just occurred to me: has anybody ever tried a reversing
ring with the 35/2.8 shift?
Maybe I miss the point, but since the shifting mechanism does not
move any optics, I don't see how it would prove any different from
reversing a standard 35/2.8, EXCEPT:
... stopping the aperture down is a piece
of cake. :)
Hmmm... expose the rear element of a $500+ lens to potential injury
so you won't have trouble stopping down, or go out and get a 35/2.8
for chicken-feed, and simply "JB Weld" the DOF button down? :-)
Now what might be more useful would be a reversing ring with a shift
mechanism built-in. Anyone want to donate a 35 shift to the
conversion project? :-)
