Sounds like he got out of the wrong side of the bed. I thought French wine was supposed to be pretty good by and large.

Re: Finally, Tilt and Shift for Sony
No, I'm fine. We will have to disagree about French wines in general as my nose and palette is definitely New World and not Traditional and Old. However much I have tried to appreciate them few have lived up to their advanced publicity or those I did like didn't conform to my sense of value for money.
Re: Finally, Tilt and Shift for Sony
You're free to dislike french wine and tell us about it, that's ok. I think its good to gather a broad range of different opinions and exchange them. However, I found your comment that french wine in Australia is considered vinegar and paint stripper offensive, I hope you've been trying to be funny

I never drank more than one the same soiree...David Kilpatrick wrote:Pako, Adelscott is the most foul thing ever invented. Liquid headache and even tastes like a headache. We have indeed tried it out of curiosity. The Desperados beer tasted more like a Corona with lime than anything else and was not unpleasant, Adelscott is a truly unpleasant experience...
In Peru we have good Pilsener, I've never been a beer person, even if I like a Pilsener or two during the hot summer, or an ale (Bass) the rest of the year. Lately, I re-discover Guinness and it is what I drink if I have the choice.
Otherwise, wine (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Argentinian and some sweet white German) is what I try to drink.

Re: Finally, Tilt and Shift for Sony
Bossel, this is something we will never agree upon regardless of whether we debate it seriously or flippantly. So I am sorry if I caused any offence.
And as we are getting off topic leave it there.

Re: Finally, Tilt and Shift for Sony
I think we're tilting and shifting off topic, which happens a lot when you drink alcohol. However, since it's tilting and shifting off topic on a topic of Tilt and Shift, doesn't that make it on topic?

Here is an amazing T&S lens for Sony

Of all things a Nikkor adapted to fit Minolta/Sony AF DSLR cameras.

Re: Finally, Tilt and Shift for Sony
It's not a tilt lens, only shift. I had one of the earlier 35mm PC Nikkor converted to Alpha fit about 20 years ago. They are not so uncommon because of the way the mount is made - they are easily converted to Pentax, Minolta or other fits.
It is a fair price but not all that useful, as the Alpha 900's 24 megapixels provides enough resolution to shoot on (say) a 17mm focal length and simply crop the image for the same result.
Now a modern 24mm tilt-shift converted would be very interesting - as would Canon's full frame 17mm TS-E.
