IF you are using the lens for maximum DOF, yes. A BIG YES..... Nothing
else works as well. ( Focus stacking is a SW solution, but requires a bit
of calculations to work properly... and a really steady tripod. ) This
requires the TILT function. The shift is not required in most cases. The
lens David referred to has no tilt. It is a shift only lens.
If you are doing commercial Architectural work, Yes. You need to get the
best images you can. You will probably use the RISE function most of the
time. You need a lens with sufficient image circle. See David's article.
If you are an amateur, and use it for travel pictures, I agree with
David..... probably not. SW can do this pretty well. (And the lenses are
heavy!)
After many years of debate in my head, I recently bought an older Canon 24mm
T/S lens for tilt (DOF) purposes. ( with adapter for use on my A7) There
is also offered 17mm, 35mm,45mm, and 90mm versions of the same function.
Nikon has similar functionality, as well as some of the aftermarket
companies. All of these lenses are cheap compared to Leica prices for new
lenses....... $350-2,000 depending on used/new, and FL.

Good afternoon. Question for anyone who wants to answer, please. With the
advent of digital images and editing is there any utility in using a PC lens
on a digital camera for architectural images?
Thanks.
