Manufacturer description #1

The 75mm Shift f/4.5 lens can move up to 20mm vertically or horizontally, and 17mm diagonally. Should it be shifted more than 17mm, the short side of the actual picture area outside the field of view may become vignetted, depending on the combination of the bellows extension along with the direction in which the lens shifts.

Manufacturer description #2

The 75mm f/4.5 Shift is a special application lens for perspective control. It features a unique wide field coverage and perspective control shift mechanism in rotating mount, allowing the photographer to maintain proper linear perspective, identical to PC shift lenses for 35mm cameras. Applications include precise perspective for architectural or industrial rendering or table top photography.

From the editor

The lens is only compatible with the Mamiya RB67 Professional SD medium format film SLR camera.
