The comments I have heard all refer to the physical inability to properly
mount the lens due to the design of the camera body. No one has made

the photographer I talked to about this regularly uses one of these lenses
on a film camera with no complaints.
Sorry...i was not having a go at the lenses! :-) The canon L series shift I was talking about is a beautiful bit of glass on a canon film body. Its just the oblique angle the light hits the chip at which causes the digital edge softness!
This is part of the annoying thing about digi. Pro Photographers pay out a lot of money to be beta testers of chips etc which will eventually end up (with the bugs ironed out) in high end consumer digi cameras in a few years...
