OH! but the 28 PC fits a Leica and it is one of the most glorious pieces of
glass that I have ever used.    The 38mm Biogon on the Hasselblad Superwide is
Hasselblads Crown Jewel and, IMHO the 28 PC is the R8's  You just have to
experience it.  I used mine this morning and was at a lower position than I
wanted to be to photograph an old barn.  First, I leveled the R8 using a
bubble level and then turned the PC control until the barn was perfectly
framed in the viewfinder.  I haven't processed the negative but I know exactly
what they will be.

This lense has made me fall in love with the R8 all over again.   Now, if I
could only fit the 80 1.4 in my budget!

<< Dear Mr.Doherty,
                 There is only one lens line for that,and it is 
 Canon EOS,TS(tilt-shift)24,45,90 mm lenses.Speaking professionaly,
 for the situation you have described, the 24 is the right tool.
 The Schneider 28 PC lens for the R system offers only shift,and 
 could prove too narrow for the job. >>
