Hi Xavier "Old Man" : I like Daddies when we kids put them in unusual situations - I'm sure they do like it too ( I'm a maturing father myself and know the story) Screen : some are for sale on Nathal i.e. Baille (pas de pub) - I haven't got one - but what I think is the lens is to be taken into account (was it the Tamron? I had one and got this sort of "frustration" with tunnel effects sometimes) - For me, you'd better try and get major verticals upright with some piece of software I'd say - lest you intended to buy one of those shift lenses that are still SO expensive - as the screen just tells you how crooked the pic will look, but does not affect the perfomance of the lens ... When shooting buildings and monuments, there are times I dream I was a couple of yards taller, or simply I could fly - never happened to you? LOL Bonne journée Phileica .
