5. another alternative is to use a bellows with tilt shift

I use the Nikon PB-4 bellows, usually with a 50mm reverse mounted flat field enlarger lens. The PB-4 has shift capability on the front lens board, although honestly I never use it. But it's there. That particular bellows/lens combination is awesome for studio macro, and generally available for reasonable cost, though it might take some searching online to find them.

I wonder what this lens would do on a Nikon F-mount APS-C camera? It's only listed as compatible with full frame models, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work, just within the narrower crop factored center of the image. And the list of compatible Nikon F-mounts does end with "etc." I'd love to try one out. The price is surprisingly low!
