I might have to give that a try....  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

For something like this to work tilty-like on a fullframe 35mm body like the D3, you'd want the ballsocket mount to accept medium-format lenses to keep inside the image circle edge-to-edge. Make sense?  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

How about a fisheye tilt then?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Doesn't the image circle increase in size though as the lens is moved further from the sensor? I mean I realize that the focusing distance meter on the lens would be way off but whatever. Also, wouldn't it work with regular full frame lens and a smaller factor body (D300 D40x etc etc)? Am I thinking about that right? Jack? Or anybody else?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
