Hi Mick, Oh boy, get your wallet out. (And don't ship this one by UPS -- har!!) A shift lens is an expensive optic that allows you to move the optic axis of the lens so that it intersects the film plane off-center and/or at some angle other than 90 degrees. Very nice for architectural shots, or anything else where you need perspective control -- i.e., to make sure that the parallel lines of the very large object show up as parallel lines in the image on your film. KEH has an SMC 28/3.5 shift lens, in bargain condition, for "only" $645. Bill Peifer Rochester, NY - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
