On a side note:
Brenner Fotoversand (http://www.brenner-fotoversand.de), a German mail order
photo dealer, have been offering a Russian-made 2.8/35mm shift lens at a
price of DM 798.- (approx. US $ 390.- at the current rate) for quite a few
years. The lens has been tested very favorably in Foto-Magazin 5/94. Since
their last catalogue (April/May/June) they are also offering this lens in a
shift & tilt version at DM 949.- (US $ 462.-), and in the current one
(July/Aug./Sept.), for the first time, they also have both versions in OM
mount :-). Also new is a 2.8/80mm shift & tilt at the same price, also
available in OM mount. If I had that kind of money to spend right now I
might be tempted....
