After fiddling around with this lens for a couple of days and finally finding out the difference between tilting and shifting I tried my first test stitch. I bought this lens in the hopes that I would be able to get a wider FOV for architectural interiors. Shifting this lens left-center-right gives me pretty close to the same FOV offered by the 14mm end of the 14-24 zoom but without the distortion. Please make some test shot allowances for this image... no post other than auto-merge in PS and the jpg compression is pretty bad on this web sized image. Am posting this just to give folks some food for thought and to show what this wonderful lens is capable of.
