Then I'd have to buy Pentacon lenses. Hell, when I was looking at the Pentax 28mm shift it was selling for around $1000 used if the dealer knew what they had, and I didn't run into any who didn't. The real utility comes into play on shorter FL lenses, (most manufactures of these types of lenses produce them in 28-35mm FL for 35mm cameras).. Now that I shoot mostly APS digital I don't see the need nearly as much. The Pentax shift lens is a short normal on a Pentax Digital camera. When I shoot 35mm I scan the film and manipulate it in Photoshop anyway.
