But the image circle of a standard Nikon lens won't allow much tilt. You need a lens with a larger image circle for a worthwhile endeavor.

JK- I strongly prefer the 24mm, but here is a great deal on a 35mm http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800882482-USE/Nikon_35mm_f_2_8_PC_Lens.html Tom

Very interesting JK. I can't seem to get my mind wrapped around the concept of this PC lens. Never seen one or it's product that I know of.

Take a look at this site Gary: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/nikon_24_pc.shtml They take a lot of skill and experience to get the best from them but in the right hands...

The camera lens is like a video projector, projecting an image onto the sensor Imagine photographing a flat square building - if you tilt the camera and sensor away from the perpendicular (ie the sensor is not parallel to the subject) the image of the building will be distorted If you keep the sensor and the building parallel the building will be square, but will not fit in the frame (from ground level) If you slide (shift) the lens around then you are able to slide around the image formed within the camera to bring the object fully back into view while the sensor and building remain parallel maintaining correct perspective As for seeing the output of this type of optical trick, you have definitely seen it in everything from architecture right down to studio shots of good quality perfumes and kitchen wares
