In February, I took this shot of some old film cans from my collection, and
was satisfied with the result.

But when I tried to capture an arrangement of historic film cassettes, I
wasn't as successful. I couldn't get
enough depth of field, so I ordered a lens tilt adapter, something I've
dreamed about for 50 years, but
could never have until the advent of mirrorless cameras.  It took three
months to come, and I shot this today
with the Kapon Nikon F to Fuji X adapter and 35mm f/3.5 Nikkor PC lens.  It
was great to get overall sharpness at f/11.
