Re: Tilt-Shift Lens: Any Experiences?

It's certainly sharp, but I forgot to mention before that (rather surprisingly for a lens with an extra-large image circle) it does vignette noticeably at f/3.5 - f/4. Use at f/5.6 or smaller if this bothers you (you'd probably be best at f/8 for DoF anyway).

I've found that on a digital body the 24TSE suffers quite badly from the dreaded purple fringing problem, particularly when shifted - has that been your experience too?

    ... what percentage increase in DOF would be realized? ... However, a typical compact camera only stops down to about f/8 or f/11 & a dedicated SLR macro lens can stop down to f/57 or even f/64 ...and the compact becomes diffraction limited around f/5.6 or f/8 where the DSLR doesn't break that barrier till around f/11 or f/16 so frankly I don't know where that all washes out, probably about the same. ...
