I am new to the mailing list, so please forgive me some of my
naïveté, or amateurism, but am I to understand that there is a bellows
attachment that will shift/tilt any OM lens so that one can photograph
architecture? Can I end my quest for the allusive 24 mm Zuiko shift? Any
of your seasoned opinions would be greatly appreciated.
As a new subscriber, I guess I should also introduce myself. I am
an Intern Architect in the middle of my graduate degree and have a interest
in producing quality photographs of architecture. I currently own a OM 2n
with a 35 mm Zuiko shift. This lens and a graduated neutral density filter
have served me well for a long time, but I am becoming more interested in
finding and purchasing a 24mm shift lens for the same camera. I have an
acquaintance who has recently switched to the EOS system for their 24 mm
shift, but I think my heart is with Oly products. I look forward to the
engaging dialogue and humorous remarks that all of you seem to master.
Thanks in advance for your help.
