Hmm,
A tilt shift lens is great..I haven;t used one in a while but I used to use one for some stuff years ago..It ain't a view camera tho...but you know that already..
Meh..there aint really anything digital that can touch the feel of a print from a 4x5 neg, IMO..btw..Fuji does make some kind of 4x5 instant product i thought? maybe it's a ready load system for regular film..not sure..
The 'Impossible Project' is not producing any 4x5 stuff...but i guess you never know what's coming..they, apparently, don't have that machinery.
focusing will be manual and you focus through the viewfinder like a regular 35mm platform lens..metering should be ok depending on the lens you pick..but..i have zero experience with the newer PC lenses from Nikon on the digital bodies etc...
Metering should be usable too..some camera designs will get in the way of these lenses..there are newer ones and older ones..i used the older (35mm i think) nikon pc lens here and there and need had this problem
I'm making some common sense leaps up there with regards o some of those tech speculations..but they should be fairly real.
As for perspective corrections in software such as lightroom or PS..I use it but i still set my camera up carefully when shooting anything critical with architecture..couple of steps that have to be honored to make 'in software' pc work properly..plus shooting things a bit loose..
