Hi,
I find for architectural shots at dusk, with street lights, this lens although beautiful in quality, flares very badly when point lights are in the frame like street lamps. I've spent way too long in photoshop correcting these flares in post and am looking to improvise some kind of barn doors or bellows lens hood / shade that will allow full shift with a full frame sensor. Holding a board is not sufficient if the source of flare surrounds the camera
I have the hood and have used it on my 17tse with a home made adaptor. You can see my write up here. You can't get full shift with the hood and not even with the less obtrusive Lee foundation kit. You can get some shift with the hood. Mine has a 105mm filter thread on the front, it would allow more shift if that were removed.
If you read my stuff be aware that I abandoned the 4 inch water pipe mount for one made from a spare lens cap.

What I see when I open the image and view it at 100% is very important to my overall attitude toward a final print. When I look at the print I know what’s there and what I had to do to get there. For me, good enough does not work.
