Has anyone adapted a Nikon 19mm tilt-shift lens to Sony E? I recently had a Canon 17mm TSE lens stolen. I was thinking of replacing it with a Nikon 19mm tilt-shift lens because I always felt that the Canon 17 was a bit too wide. Canon’s 24mm lens produces disappointing results and does not shift far enough relative to its focal length. So the Nikon 19mm looks like the best option for me, if I can adapt it.

      In the old film days it made a lot of sense to invest in lenses and film than in the body.  Today, a more balanced approach is needed. Speaking of cheap lenses, what I have often noticed is great sample variability, I have two fairly good SEL 16-50 kit lens that came with my cameras, but I have tested one from a friend that was horrible, completely decentered.

      You are correct for the Voigtlanders I own - the aperture ring is mechanical. It tells the camera what the aperture is, but yeah, no control from the camera.

      When I was shooting film, I used to buy an inexpensive body and pair it with an expensive lens and shoot with pro film. Now I'm doing the opposite.  The body cost so much, I've been trying to get by with inexpensive lenses with predictable results. I've also been buying some inexpensive Chinese made binoculars (actually, almost all binoculars are Chinese made) with pretty impressive performance and was hoping for the same with camera lenses. Seems I'm far more critical of the performance of camera lenses. I just ordered some lens test charts. Amazon.com : DGK Color Tools High Resolution 8.5x11" Chrome SD Professional Lens Test Chart, 3-Pack : Office And School Rulers : Electronics I don't have a really good lens to compare my cheap lenses against, but I can test them against each other and see where I need to do more shopping. There may be a price point where performance is both acceptable and affordable.  I'm hoping.  I'm pretty sure my Samyang 100mm macro lens is pretty good.  My Meike 50mm is pretty questionable.
