tilt them up anywho. Keystoning is perficklee

Just what kinda thoughtful or knowledgeable
advice is "Maybe rent a Canon 17mm, 24mm
or 45mm tilt/shift lens" ? ? ? It's just cut and
paste parrot talk. Only the 17 is even worthy
of mention, but Canon makes those 3, so the
cut and paste guy mentions all three. Fact is,
your 10-18 is the equal of the tilt shift 17 in
real use, slightly superior really. Just rotate
to vertical format, frame the tall subject, and
crop away any excess foreground later. Your
10-18 is a great travel lens, weighs in at "1/2
of nothing". Only a fool who has never used it
[properly] would tell you to leave it at home.
PLUS ! the 10-18 has IS. None of the foolishly
recommended T-S lenses has that. You gonna
lug tripod all over the place ? Don't know about
the fools, but I actually USE a 10-18 and also a
10-22. But I only use the 10-22 on a Sony with
IBIS. On my non-IBIS Canons, I use the 10-18
even after I got a near-steal deal on the 10-22.
10-18 IS ... don't leave home without it !
