Looks like you could get a new Canon 24 shift and a used body
for the price of the used Zuiko 24 shift. Do you know if the tilt can
be locked? Wouldn't the DOF of a 24mm lens be great enough
that you would never need the tilt?
I bought a 35 shift after a trip to Yosemite. They definitely have
use with plenty of things besides buildings.
