I made an adapter to put all my Rollei SL66 (Zeiss) glass on my Canon FD.
It allowed me to tilt all of them for better depth of field control, but it
was not worth the trouble.  

Canon's best prime lenses are about as good it gets (even though some of my
MF lenses hit higher resolutions than my Canon L lenses in my testing).
Focus accuracy and vibration make the very high test resolutions irrelevant
in the real world.  Actually, the focal plane shutter vibration is a lot
more of a sharpness killer than most realize.  Leaf shutters are greatly
underappreciated.
