While I don't have a shift-lens, I do have large format experience and a
nice 135mm 4x5 lens that would fit the bill for testing purposes. I feel
that my familiarity with the rise/shift/tilt movements of large format work
places me in a position to evaluate this product with the critical eye
towards comparing it to the vast possibilities of the 4x5 body, rather than
basing my findings on the limitations imposed by a 35mm shift lens. As the
most qualified evaluator (in my mind at least) please contact me off list to
make arrangements to send me funds for the untit plus $3,600 ($2,600 plus
$1,000 incidentals) for a testing junket "Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail"
in September.
Thank you for your consideration,

Well...seriously, I would guess that this would be similar in performance to
the mini-graphics of years past. Interesting idea. Don't have a clue about
the actual performance of a shift lens.
