Yenemy, to see the rear part of the Pentax shift lens take a look at this link http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/p...-focusing.html. It might give you an idea about how can you do it. I think that the Takumar 35 f3.5 has a rear element that it might work but I am not sure about that.

In the really old days, you could always tilt base board under the enlarger in the darkroom to correct verticals. I'm lucky enough to own a Pentax 28mm f3.5 Shift lens and have done so for many years and it's still favourite lens for me.

But remember, that now many corrections can now be carried out in software such as CS3 using the transform tool and the like. I'm sure it's available in all the other brands of software too.

Just be careful not to overdo it, a slight lean looks more natural than perfect parallels.

You can do everything a shift lens does in software, but you still need the actual tilt lens for its effects.

The problem is that this is an 80 mm lens, which definitely limits its usefulness on APS-C. What we really need is a 16mm tilt and shift lens to allow us to get that "1 inch from the lens to infinity in focus" field of flower shots.

I was under the impression that there was an optical difference, in terms of perspective projection, between a straight-on image which has been stretched, and an image taken through shifted optics. As in, the viewpoint is changed slightly.

I bought one of these (labeled Photex) just before summer. You can see some of my images at Tilt & Shift Image Gallery . I was a bit unlucky with my lens though as the mount got lose from the lens. I had to disassemble it to reach the screws.
