I bought myself a new lens yesterday… and I think this could be an absolute game changer! At present when angles get tight I have to tilt the camera introducing crazy perspective distortion and then correct it in post production, which works well enough… but it loses a lot of detail and often a lot of the image. There is another way though - the Shift Lens - which creates a much larger than necessary image circle which the sensor can be positioned within to negate the need to tilt and keeps those verticals exactly that, vertical.
There is something of a learning curve with this, and I am on it already - and have already found alternative applications in landscape photography for this fully manual beast. I hope to have some real-world examples for you soon!
