Sorry. Somehow I mixed up in my head that this was a 35mm focal length lens. In fact, that is what it would be (36mm equiv. FOV) on an APS-C camera. True 24mm is better than 36mm. If this lens is any good, it is going to exert some serious downward pressure on the price of the old Pentax shift lenses (that have no tilt). If you've still got one (and don't use it), the time to sell is NOW before word of this lens gets out.
