@wordshaper I have a monochrome sensor, but I hardly ever use it except for special circumstances. Mostly I use a color sensor and filter in post.A monochrome sensor has some benefits. The lack of a color Bayer filter means the images can be a bit sharper, and it's easier to make captures in the IR spectrum. But using a color sensor lets you do all the color contrast filtering in post rather than optically with colored filters at the time of capture.

@mattblaze Rogeti has frames made to fit the Canon 17, 24 and 50 mm TS-E lenses that solve that problem.

@mattblaze On a technical camera can’t you also move the plane of the lens as well as the back, to effect the shift. Are there advantages or disadvantages to moving, one or the other or both?

Related: Shift is also (more often) used to maintain geometric accuracy in certain subjects even in non-stitched images. It's the secret weapon of architectural photography. Here's a little thread I did on it a while back.federate.social/@mattblaze/112

@mattblaze this insight is fascinating. thank you for sharing!i love that you re-share these photos. i notice something new every time!

@mattblaze Thanks for the great thread!During my conscription (in 1980) I learned by myself how to use the Linhof 8×10" of the military school, without any clue, just making experiments.But since film was expensive, I often had to resort to thin tracing paper :blobfacepalm: on the film plate to make correct drawings of devices for manuals (to make them was my "official" duty).
