Complex but worth getting to know!
This lens is a gem! If you're used to 'auto everything' this isn't for you. You have to get to know the intricacies of this lens to be able to exploit its full potential. It vignettes at its maximum shift settings, a couple of the knobs are little on the small side, but the positive paybacks are...
Pros:
- Build quality
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Complex

Doesn't offer full movement but great for panoramas
"I rented this lens specifically for the purposes of shooting architecture and landscape images. What I found while shooting is that this lens is limited to both the shift & tilt or _swing_ funtion are locked to each other.

Complaints About Locking Knobs
This is a very nice lens and I look forward to many years of beautiful images. Before I purchased the lens I was taken aback by a number of reviews that complained about the tilt and shift locking knobs not tightening properly.

This is a specialty lens, but it offers tremdous functionality.
This is the only lens I have ever bought used, but it was in pristine condition. I bought this lens primarily to take one picture, but have found a lot of use for it once I owned it. It is not a "point and shoot lens," but it has been a fun lens to learn to use.

Cons:

As a newbie digital SLR refugee from a past life of large format sheet film landscape work this lens was to me a 'must have' item rather than the latest super zoom or exotic telephoto etc.

Amazing Lens
This is an amazing lens. I purchased this for my Nikon D700 after a workshop with a large format landscape photographer. I use it more and more as I continue to discover its creative possibilities.

Amazing
The lens is great. Sharp, easy to use and durable. The only problem with it, is the rise and fall when you are shooting vertical. It is very hard to lock the lens into place if you have big fingers. Although it is a pain, it is still a fantastic lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Sharp Focus
Cons:
- Tough To Attach

Great Lens
Very sharp lens, corner to corner. I am just getting use to PC-E lenses, so there is a learning curve. I have been able to use the lens in both landscape and architecture and the shift function has been very useful. I am also still on a learning curve to remember this is a manual focus lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Strong Construction
