Which mount?
There is the old oly om 35mm shift which is quite nice and good price also.
It can be adapted to most mounts.
They can be great as you can use the lens vertically and use the shift movements to stich vertical frames and you can keep the camera level and use shift movements to avoid diverging and converging verticals.
Ordered a Nikon 24mm PCE
Congratulations!
A tad heavy on the cash side but all worth it!
it's used
A question, Neil…
did you check if it is still in it's original cross movement
or was it modified to operate on the same plane?
No i didn't.
Well, you should! if anything is not right… this will impair
expected performance and the modification may??? have
been poorly executed. You should check.
sorry, not following you Kodiak.
Originally, PC lenses have perpendicular movements.
Some will modify them to same plane movements.
The lens is not modified Kodiak.
Non modified or well modified are both good!
What's meant by wide angle distortion?
Some if not all wa lenses are better corrected than some non wa lenses.
Well, you should! if anything is not right… this will impair
expected performance and the modification may??? have
been poorly executed. You should check.
I had one which could do both movements similtanously and it was as mushy in the edges as hell.
I must admit Neil (@NeilA1975) I am so close to buying a 24mm PC-E myself! I had one on hire for Christmas last year and loved it. Anyway you may find this link useful.

They all can do, Steve and mine (24 & 85) are crystal clear wall to wall!
Look forward to seeing what you get! I am so tempted to get one but the realist in me can't have that and a 16-35 (especially when I have a 24-120 too) so I need to make up my mind if I sell something first...Yep, looked at that earlier Stu strangely enough....got a pretty good deal at MPB, arriving tomorrow, it might motivate me enough to get out this weekend, especially after last night!

… and the "anti" in the opposite direction!
Just for information... when using scheimpflug to tilt the plane of focus you will be surprised how little tilt is actually needed, for example with the camera about 4ft above the ground only 1 degree of tilt is needed.... (that is for a 24mm tilt shift)
Absolutely....And you must remember that depth of field is at right angles to the plane of focus. so trees and the like go out of focus the taller they are.
Looking forward to hearing how you get on with the lens buddy.
Very nearly pulled the trigger a couple of months back but spent out on a new tripod instead. Just sold my Zeiss 21mm as well so room for a new lens in my bag again now
Will definitely be heading out this weekend
Your bag wont be complete without it StuLook forward to seeing what you get! I am so tempted to get one but the realist in me can't have that and a 16-35 (especially when I have a 24-120 too) so I need to make up my mind if I sell something first...
Please don't be that voice in my head that tells me that already! Lol.Your bag wont be complete without it Stu
