It helped to spend some time refreshing my memory about how to use tilts and shifts but aside from that, there was nothing mysterious about this lens other than the magical quality it possesses for producing sharp, colorful images that can be free of converging lines or offer incredible field of focus control

After years of missing large format cameras with their swings and tilts, and of course their wonderful large film size that together produce incredible images, I think I have found something that will lessen my longing

The lens overall is very sharp and provides an excellent image quality

But it's built like a tank, and I'm actually stunned at how sharp the images are

Functions superbly, lay-people who have seen images of buildings sans converging verticals, can't quite figure out why there's a difference but they all appreciate the images

It's indispensable because the shift ability retains image quality fidelity where you would normally have to distort the image in editing software, and for high paying clients on enlargement sized prints, that is unacceptable
