Has anyone else used the Venus 15/4.5 shift lens?
My initial conclusions are that it is huge, heavy, a bit wide for most purposes in the Western world (as in, there are few places where you might need 15mm and shift), and optically comparable to PC Nikkors.
I tested this a bit on the M246 Monochrom (mainly since it is more compatible visually with the pictures I shoot on medium format). I have yet to try it on Sony FX or DX or film SLRs, but given that it is below freezing here, you take the sunlight you can get and the warmer afternoons you can get!
Some of my notes so far here:
