The second issue is that when tilting the lens down, the whole frame is moving down with it ( unlike what happens with say a canon 24mm t/s lens), i'm guessing that mounting the lens direct to the tripod will help this, so that I use the camera body to do the tilting rather than the lens? the only problem is that its nion impossible to rig a lens collar to the 2 adaptors I have, can I buy say a contax 645 to contax 645 adaptor that has a lens collar attached, so that I can attach that to the tripod. After agonizing over Mamiya 645 AF/AFD and Pentex 645, I have finally bought the Contax 645, for its interchangable back, preflash metering, sharp but natural. I have been out shooting test shots this weekend and when I stop it down small enough to give what I think is around f11 (its guess work as the kipon adaptor is just numbers 1-6) I am getting SEVERE vignetting around the edges, any idea?
The camera is not really comparable to the Contax 645 film camera in terms of being able to create dreamy portraits due to the lens fitted (GS645 has the 75mm f3.4 lens and the Contax 645 has the amazing Zeiss 80mm f2 lens).
I have 2 issues,the first one being that the lens aperture can only be controlled via electronics, meaning that I have to use the IRIS built in to the 'standard' adaptor (not t/s adaptor) to stop down the lens. The plan is take the Fuji GS645 to weddings for some extra film photography.

I have just bought a Contax 645 45mm f2.8 distagon MF lens for my A7R, I have the following setup :
