mmmm.. thanks Bill. If I had $650 right now (which I dont) I think I might
better investing it in an LX.

Hi Mick,
Oh boy, get your wallet out. (And don't ship this one by UPS -- har!!) A
shift lens is an expensive optic that allows you to move the optic axis of
the lens so that it intersects the film plane off-center and/or at some
angle other than 90 degrees. Very nice for architectural shots, or anything
else where you need perspective control -- i.e., to make sure that the
parallel lines of the very large object show up as parallel lines in the
image on your film. KEH has an SMC 28/3.5 shift lens, in bargain condition,
for "only" $645.
