Yes that is true. However?Canon and Nikon do make TS lenses for 35mm.?It's
probably?completely unnoticable in such fine glass as Zeiss, but I do
believe the lines per inch is significantly less in a 6x6 design vs a 35mm
lens design. I do think there is a bit of a need to move more glass by this
company and adoption to these bodies is to some degree?(probably large,
IMO)?driven by that. No problem; like I said, probably unnoticable. I'd like
to have the 40 to compare!!
Now back to?taking?photos...
Best,
Bob

I kind of assumed that since MF lenses have a bigger imaging circle,
it's easier to make a tilt shift lens out of them for 35mm.? The image
has to cover 6x6cm, so you can shift 1.25cm (estimate) in any
direction and still cover 35mm.
