Thank you Markus. Now Nikon PC-E 24mm f3.5 appears to be more attractive to me than the Zeiss 21mm f2.8, since it can do a lot of things that my 16-35mm f4 cannot do and according to various sources it has also a superb IQ. It is more expensive than the Zeiss but considering its unique functions and also good optical and mechanical qualities it is worth to pay the extra money.
I would love to see a review of Nikon PC-E 24mm f3.5 at PZ some day but I guess the chance is very small.

Hi Frank,
FYI, it is possible to shoot a tilt-shift lens handheld, with shift and/or tilt engaged. I do so all the time <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />. Only when I get close I revert to tripod etc., or in case I need to take a "precision" shot.
If need be, it is always possible to use LiveView in case one isn't too sure about the effect <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.
Kind regards, Wim
