Must-have for this lens

If you have the lens, it's a very, very good idea to use this bracket. The 100-200 is expensive and nose-heavy, and it's not worth the risk of damaging it by hanging it on the camera without the bracket, exposing the mount to all that torque. I've heard a few complaints about alignment being off to the point where the bracket doesn't support the lens, but I haven't had a problem with mine. A good, solid piece of metal. The only down side is portability - it takes up a good chunk of space in the camera bag. But then, so does the lens - some choices require concessions to be made.

The Tilt/Shift adapter is designed for use with all Mamiya RZ lenses. Using a bellows mechanism and electronic connection, the adapter interfaces between the camera and lens, maintaining all electronic functions, and allowing control of perspective and depth of field using tilt and shift movements similar to a view camera.

Creative applications include increasing depth of field or decreasing depth of field, as seen in many fashion and product advertisements, where unusual focus effects are desired. Ideal for architectural photography for controlling perspective and depth of field. A perfect solution for product table top photography including digital.

Minimum and maximum focus distances will vary with focal length and degree of movement used, similar to distance restrictions when using the #1 extension tube. Focusing at a maximum distance of 10 feet is possible with lenses from 180mm or longer. Adding 27.2mm of extension, plus the capability to adjust perspective and depth of field, the Adapter is ideal for product photography and close-up applications. Recommended for use with lenses from 110mm to 350mm. Accepts RZ Short Barrel lenses for infinity focus: 75mm f/4.5 Short Barrel and 180mm f/4.5 Short Barrel.
