I started a thread on this topic some time ago. My plan was to cut apart an OM bellows and convert it to tilt/shift via a couple inexpensize ball-heads.

The 135/4.5 and possibly also the 80/4 lens will focus to infinity on the bellows. My experiment, in which I focused to infinity with the bellows, took the bellows off the camera, backed the focus off a bit, then held the bellows tilted to the body, indicates that this might work well. (Note that rear-standard tilt does not require a huge image circle, unlike shift or front-standard tilt.)

So now this is waiting for a rainy weekend to put together.
