What is significant about this lens, based on the drawings, is that when using the lens on a tripod using the “built-in” tripod mount, it is the camera that “shifts,” rather than the lens. This is a huge plus for panoramic photography because it eliminates problems of parallax caused when what shifts is the lens.
