I wouldn't count on an ultra wide angle lens being any substitute for a good
shift lens. Perhaps for non professional work, a good lens and software
perspective corrrection could work OK. It depends on how demanding the client
is.
BTW, the 7-14 is going to be a $1,800 MSRP lens, not something that I'm going
to spring for quickly. I'd buy the 150/2 much more quickly. The 11-22 is wide
enough for 99.5% of my uses. Otherwise, I move to film and a 15mm lens on a
Leica.
But I continue to be a raving fan. Here's hoping the upcoming E-3 will be a
great camera and come down to a reasonable price soon.
