Sorry, I am answering two different posts on the subject I raised together.

I was using the 28/2.8 lens, and the pictures actually looked not too bad.
I even took a picture inside St. Patricks -- handholding for 1s with no
flash. I also tried to take a picture inside the St. Thomas Church (along
with a group of Japanese tourists who all carried P&S cameras) and it did
not turn out as well, a little too much shake -- probably due to the
freezing weather that day.

I understand how a shift lens works. To me, in this situation, these lines
are still parallel to the film plane. But I didn't think that was what Jan
meant in his original post talking about "lines that aren't parallel to the
film plane."
