The Zuiko 35mm f2.8 shift lens probably behaves differently. It's rear 
element is receased almost 1/2 inch vs. protruding into the camera body like 
the 35/2.8 and 35/2.

For what it's worth, a C*hon 1DsII user (Mike Hatam) tested many of the wide 
angle Zuikos. The 24/shift was a winner. The 35 shift was okay but he found 
something else he wanted to use.

I've been more than pleased with most OM Zuiko lenses for my OM-1 and
Kodak SLR/c (Canon mount w/OM adapter). The one place I am having trouble
is the 35mm focal length. I've tried a few different 35/2.8's and a 35/2.
All are excellent optically, but they have a color shift across the frame
- an issue with the SLR/c and some lenses. Strange, because all my other
Zuiko lenses work without issue.

Are there any other 35mm focal length lenses in OM mount that you could
recommend?

Thanks,
Paul
