In interior situations, unless you are facing very tall ceilings, you migth
look for an 18/3.5 or 21/3.5 or 21/2.0. The filters on the 24 shift are
internal and have only clear, red and yellow. You would have to figure out a
way to attach a gelatin filter to the rear element. The 18mm and 21mm lens
take normal filters. The best use of the 24 is to correct perspective of
buildings when you are standing at ground level. If you are in an interior
situation with a 10 foot wall, 5 foot camera height would give you the
correct undistorted perspective. I don't have a 24mm shift, BTW.
