Has anyone sent their tilt/shift lens into Nikon to have it modified?

Is there a reason why there are TWO threads on the same subject? You might want to delete one of them.

How does it work for you. Are you getting some cool images? Is it worth the price?

Well James,

I've been using these lenses in my work since they were released.

I believe the price is well worth it. CKCARR suggested the knob replacement is not worth it. And he may have a good point. I have fat stubby fingers, and don't care for little knobs.

If you do have the knobs replaced, ask for the old ones back!

As far as "cool images" - that is up to the photographers ability. You can have a super box and lens, and have crappy photos. Just sayin':

My PC-E's work fine on my 700's - and if you use your PC-E's, I believe its worth the money:

A few of the guys on the board did some mods themselves. I purchased the lenses new, and had a 5 year warranty on them, so I sent to Nikon.

If I can help further, let me know!

Luke

I just got my lens. I actually picked it up from another FM member. It's an 85mm and I have studied it. I've shot about 100 images with it so far. I have been looking on the internet for images where the tilt and shift are on the same axis, but haven't found any yet. Maybe you could post a couple. I would greatly appreciate it.

I did my 24mm myself. It took about 3 minutes and was easier than cleaning my sensor. YMMV, or course.
