Originally posted by house Doing it in post in an abysmal workflow that makes taking the right photo very difficult and unsatisfying. A shift lens is a niche lensbut useful for those that benefit from them. In photography workflow is very important if time is of any concern.
I would argue lenses longer than 135mm is a solution in search of a problem because with contemporary high resolution sensors you can just crop in... and no one should use that level of magnification anyway. Or am I missing something with a statement like that.
Well, my workflow for the above image was to load 5 files into Photoshop and press a couple of buttons.
I'm not sure where this is an abysmal workflow.
I won't speak to what you are missing with your last statement, though I expect you know full well what you are doing. You are conflating two completely separate things as one and using that conflation to set up a strawman argument.
