Jim, I would caution you re: mentioning "Scheimpflug". Please know that there may be minors on this board and mentioning Scheimpflug may alert the authorities. Yes, I do know someone who committed Sheimpflug...tragic. Your statement, "Scheimpflug for me, is an absolute requirement." is just waaay too much information. Let's be careful, shall we and keep this to ourselves. Peter BTW, your post prompted me to go find the Scheimpflug cards for the lenses and that clear overlay (how does that work?). Quaint.
