Glad you made it back home safely!
As to the shift, I don't think its main use will be for landscapes - I find
a regular 24 better suited for that, and while the shift is an absolute
jewel I miss the auto-aperture I'm used to. It will come in handy for
shooting in the narrow streets of some of the old towns around here, though,
and that's where I plan on testing it extensively. Thanks again for making
this possible - this one would be extremely hard to find on the
comparatively small German used market, and if I had found one I doubt I
could have afforded it.
I enjoyed our meeting very much; we should by all means repeat something
like this in the not-too-far future.
MtFbwy,
Volkhart
