And that's what I was getting at WRT Leica. From what I can see on KEH your price range for a Summicron-M 50/2 is spot-on.

but man, anything over 1K is a lot to suck up for a hobby like this.

People started proclaiming that they couldn't do IBIS with FF sensors like they do with APS-C and m4/3, but then the a99 was kindly pointed out .

I have used tilt/shift/slide, a LF camera will get right twisted, and it is useful there. Since we have the ability to use both focus stacking and image stitching in digital cameras I don't see a need for the fancy tilt/shift lenses.

For static subjects in time-unconstrained situations focus stacking is a relief, but I can really see the benefits of using tilt and shift for just about every photographic situation that can handle manual focus and narrower max apertures.
