Schneider PC 28 is still available new in any mount you want... (they have a
website somewhere in germany)
there is also some russian alternative (on nikon mount) with tilt ability
and cheaper than the others... (think it comes from bielorussia)
I saw that on a german site...
Anyway an olympus 24shift is like a dream... I want one... but it's rare and
expensive...
But the rational way of investing, with only archictectural pictures in
mind, would be to buy a larger format tool like mamiya or others... or even
a small technical chamber... it would cost you less for better useability
(greater shift and tilt... and so on... ) You can find one complete for the
same price as a 24...
