Re: Diagonal tilt - Ts-e lenses. Issue with panorama shift?

Keith I have read through all your articles on tilt and shift on your absolutely great homepage. Your articles and your videos on the topic for sure are the most clear and detailed online (and I will buy your book, promise 😉)

My purpose for tilt and panorama I suppose is basically creative. The tilt introduces an atmospheric sense of space which I find very interesting, and creatively highly useful - I am totally aware many will find it rubbish (used to that as a professional artist, mainly sculptural stuff and non-interest by most people is simply a part of the trade).

But that aside: from a purely technical point of view couldn’t it interest you if the Ts-e lenses actually have a 50% limitation in their use of diagonal tilt in panorama photos? Only being able to utilize 2 out of 4 angles? Just as a technical curiosity? Probably not enough for a whole video, but just as an interesting appendix on the limitations of the lenses which haven’t been described elsewhere?

Well, I will give it some more effort with the knobs and rotations axes trying to figure out if I am stupidly wrong or if the lenses actually have this limitation.
