The diagram is nice, but having actual images for both tilt, shift, and tilt/shift (vs. uncorrected). Cburnett 02:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree that images showing the effects of shift might help, but at least so far, this article hasn't really been about tilts or swings. I think illustration of tilt might be more appropriately handled by expanding the article on the Scheimpflug principle. If is decided to include that topic, the title should be changed to tilt/shift lens with a redirect from the current title.

I'd still hesitate to get into combined tilts and shifts, because doing so would more likely confuse than educate. With many tilt/shift (PC) lenses (e.g., Canon and Nikon), the tilt and shift movement are at 90° to each other, and many of the examples I've seen of combined movements are rather contrived. The Canon (and perhaps also the Nikon) lenses can be modified to have both movements in the same direction, but illustrating the effects of modified lenses might be going too far.

[edit] Digital Photography

It would be good if someone could relate which (if any) digital SLR systems have compatibility with shift lenses, given how few there are. Or if none, simply state that fact. 82.10.108.49 (talk) 21:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
