Whilst I long for a PC lens with the amount of building photography that I
do, I am getting good use out of the 'Transform>Perspective' control within
Photoshop.   This will correct perspective with no trouble which is half way
to a PC lens, and will work with my 19mm f2.8 which is more useful than the
28mm of the PC lens under certain circumstances.
