Anyone out there ever had experience with one of these? I've been busy with my 90mm and 150mm - but it would be cool to have something new to play with. I'd love to see results using this lens or a similar MF shift rig.

You know, you really should see a doctor, I'm seeing some early symptoms of GAS.

Ha, sorry, I couldn't help myself. I seem to remember saying the same thing a few times back before I had all the gear I had now.
Haven't played with the RZ 75mm myself, but from what I've seen it's just as good as most other RB/RZ glass (ie, sharp as all hell)

I am in NH and have both the 75 shift and the TS adapter with the 75 short barrel lens. It is a nice lens, plenty sharp with a lot of coverage. It is a bit big and heavy but not insanely so. If you are over this way maybe you could try it out. If you need a lot of shift, it is not an ideal solution as it only has 20mm of shift. If you are in the market for one, beware as many had a fogged element pair in the rear cell, I went through 3 or 4 to find a nice one without that issue.

Damn! I was shooting film in NH on Saturday and Sunday! I literally just drove back home from a little NE road trip, back in VT. I'll keep that in mind for my next trip, though I imagine I'll be skipping pumpkinfest next year... If you saw the news you might know why.

I have one and the manual has some stunning images in it. I have been unable to use it due to recent health problems, but the attachments are quite interesting. It does need some care due to the odd focal length and attachment.
