I owned a Zuiko 24 shift for a couple of years before selling it to help
finance my 5D. I bought it from a guy who had both the Zuiko 24 shift
and the Canon 24 tilt/shift. When I asked him why he was selling he
said the Zuiko was clearly the sharper lens but that he was involved in
a project to shoot (I think it was) leaf cutter ants. He had to shoot
these in long lines along tree branches and needed the tilt capability
for depth of field much more than the sharper shift-only Zuiko.
