Right you are, Scott, I was wrong about the N 28 PC (but then, what do *I*
know about OT bodies!).
No, not Olympus manufactured, but from the same original source as Chuck
mentioned - they are 6x6 lenses mounted on the T/S chassis for 35mm. I have
seen 35mm and 80mm available for OM, haven't seen the 65mm and 120mm. There
is also a 45mm/3.5 for Pentacon Six, Mamiya, Contax and Pentax 645 which
should be adaptable to OM. I can only vouch for the 35/2.8.
As you say, tilt can be an extraordinary tool. Even more so than shift!

No. That's why I qualified the point by saying they "are fully compatible
and easy to use".
Only Canon offers a range (24/45/90) of focal lengths that allow metering in
all modes and auto diaphragm control.
BTW, the Nikk*r 85 PC does has T/S, the 28 PC does not.
Do you mean Olympus manufactured T/S lenses? I'm aware of the 24 and
35 shift lenses but none that offer tilt control. Or are you thinking of
the third party options Chuck enumerates in his response?
As mentioned before, shift is useful, but tilt can be an extraordinary tool,
giving 35mm and digital formats *some* of the capabilities of field/view
cameras.
