We usually are very helpful when you have questions about equipment. In this case, we’ll be limited to comments like “Really!” and “isn’t that interesting!” and "another customer told us that. . . " None of us have gotten past hacker status with this lens, but even hackers can use it to manipulate the depth of field and, with a little trial and error, to adjust parallel lines to straighten perspective when shooting architecture. Overall, it’s a most handy lens when the need arrises.

One thing I’ll mention (again) after an experience last week – if you call and tell us the autofocus is broken we’ll tell you not to play with the big-boy toys at recess anymore. All tilt-shift lenses are manual focus only.
