I fully agree that the cash is best spent on Large Format equipment vs.
using
OM System 24mm shift lenses. In my limited, one month experience with the

Garry, I solved the zuiko 24mm shift lens problems buy buying a N*K*N 28mm
shift (they call it a PC) lens... The difference between 28mm and 24mm isn't
much and I got the 28mm for $600 from KEH. It is manual focus, the front
element doesn't stick out, is built rugged, and so is safe enought in the
bag. I bought a body to go with it and still payed much less than half the
cost of of the Zuiko 24 alone......
If you can get a gig with a local realitor, this lens may actually pay for
itself.
BTW I was at the NY photo show on saturday. The Boston Calumet arranged a
bus trip - complete with movies, meals and other goodies. It was a ball.
Next week is the HUNT SHOW IN BOSTON.... (Hummm, so many toys, so little
time and money!)
