Seems like there is another problem with this idea. Putting the lens
on the bellows will prevent focusing at anything very far away
(typically under a foot depending on the length of the lens). Since
tilt and shift are usually used for architecture shots and such would
hacking be very useful if it worked?
=============================

rear tilt is useful for architecture-- front tilt less so, but front rise
and shift is useful.  however, tilt is also using for controlling
depth of field in macro and landscape shots.  because it is so useful
for macro work, some bellows have front tilt.  Nikon and Minolta used
to make them.  Note that none of hte bellows I know of with tilt support
an auto diaphragm-- even if Olympus had one it probably wouldn't, so
a T-mount one probably is just as good anyway.
