>... the 35 and 24 Zuiko shifts are very small, compact, and most
in the 35mm world, the term shift is abused a bit. technically,
when the front standard is moved laterally, it is called shift.
but when it is moved vertically, it is called rise or fall.
Shift lenses are expensive. a much cheaper solution is to use
a 6x6 medium format camera. you get the effect of shift, rise, and
fall of the back for free by where you position a 6x4.5 image on
the 6x6 back. you also get the effect of a revolving back, for
the mere cost of 25 0.000000ewer images per roll. Of course, some
monorails are pretty cheap too.
