Today, I bought me a second(....)-hand Arsat 2.8/35mm shift lens. Never ever had a shift lens before, but I did not like the way my city shots turned out, with leaning buildings etc. I know, this can be cured in PP, but I'd like to try a shift lens. The genuine Pentax tilt lens is very expensive, and this Arsat was within my budget.
On my way back home I tried the lens. The weather was very dull, so the colours turned out quite flat, and I know the lens can do better - tested it indoors. This is just to show the effect of the shift mechanism. #1 with tilted camera, #2 with the shift mechanism in work. Both are made from about the same position, but not exactly!
