It's a bit offtopic here, but since it has been asked for TS-lenses for other systems (including pentax), just a small remark: There are (Tilt-)Shift-Adapters which take medium format lenses (big image circle) for various mounts. A quick search led me to [url="http://www.mirex-adapter.de/tilt_shift_adapter.htm"]this site[/url] (in German, if necessary use [url="http://translate.google.de/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirex-adapter.de%2Ftilt_shift_adapter.htm&sl=de&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8"]google-translation[/url]). I'm sure there are other brands around. However, the problem remains that you need wide-angle focal lengths in terms of aps-c sensor size which are quite unlikely to be found among medium format lenses (where a 50mm is already a wide angle lens).

I had it and wrote about it [url="http://photo.net/canon-eos-digital-camera-forum/00WaiF"]here[/url]. Quite a good setup.
BTW, surprising as it may sound, [url="http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/hartblei-cam.shtml"]the 24/3.5 II and 17/4 can actually be used on MF, even with shift[/url]. Amazing is an understatement in this case.
