It's actually only f/11. The lens was shifted down in order to see the most of the top and tilted to the right so the front of the box would be completely in focus regardless of aperture.

You make it sound like your lens will tilt and shift in the same plane.... did you get it modified to do that, or am I just misunderstanding :) ?

Misunderstanding, I edited my post clarifying it was shifted to the right.

LOL, ok, thanks.

I know of a pro photo guy who mentioned that some pro's do get these lenses "turned around" by the factory.

BTW, I owned 2 Datsun 510's. Awesome for off roading in the back woods of Kentucky :)

I don't think my school would like if I sent off their lens to get "turned around."
