[Paul2660]

The SK35 is a sure a breeze to figure out a nodal point since it's so tiny.

Yes...... a very underrated lens and easy to find the nodal. I'll never sell mine. In fact I'll never sell any of my Schneider lenses.:thumbup:

I know New York City is big, but if it includes Ithaca it is MUCH bigger than I realized.

Below is a link for a few more details on the lens.

No, it is not a Rodenstock, but it is a good lens, and provides a solution for mirrored and mirror-less camera owners.

We'll have inventory next week and it will be available in our rental inventory also.

Hmm... so what is the advantage over a Samyang 3.5/24 mm TS lens with Canon mount (or others) and a corresponding adapter on the Sony A7RII or the like? The lens is available as Samyang, Walimex, Rokinon and Bower lens in nearly identical versions at half the price. Looks darn close.

as far as movements: two tilt and two shift axes, all at the same time with the actus. the Canon T/S only has one of each
