I didn't experiment enough to see how much max aperture had to do with it.
My quick impression was that the shorter the focal length, the less useful
it was. It seems you've seen a big dependence on max aperture.
I dearly love a couple of the slower wide angle lenses: 35 mm f2.8 shift and
24mm f3.5 shift. The 35 I've had over 20 years. The 24 though relatively
recent, cost about half what they typically go for ... so neither were major
contributors to current impoverishment ;^)
