How could I have forgotten the Novoflex Balpro bellows? USD1500 of
engineering perfection (camera and lens mounts extra). And wonder of
wonders, it's in stock at B&H!
The PB-4 tilts and shifts the front standard to left and right, but the
camera mount on the rear standard rotates.
The Kopil Bellowsmat tilts the front standard to left and right, shifts both
standards upwards, and the camera mount on the rear standard rotates.
The OM shift bellows seem to have had tilt to left/right and up/down, as
well as shift upwards, on both standards in each case, to judge from the
image here:

Subject: [OM] [OT] Questions for enlarging lens
A potential compact option is the Zork system that uses the enlarger
lens and provides tilt-shift.

Mamiya T-S bellows are readily available but allow movements on the
front end only. I also don't know if it tilts in more than one plane.
I don't think the Nikon PB-4 does anyway. Mamiya to Nikon adapters are
easiy available on yabe, though the Mamiya to enlarger lens fitting
might be an issue. I have no doubt it could be done. (srb Griturn as
a last resort, but it will cost you.) I recall Dean obtained a Mamiya
t-S bellows with a lens in bgn condition that was very nice and had a
Mam 80mm? macro lens with it.
Novoflex makes T-S bellows for a small fortune. I had tried to snipe
a couple Spirotone T-S bellows that have over 7 adjustement knobs on
them, but they seem to be rare and unduly expensive. I wish Oly had
brought their OM T-S bellows to market--have seen a photo of one of
them.
