I also have some images shot ~through~ the lens, at

The K 28/3.5 Shift is a pretty good 28mm lens (when used without the shift
feature), but not spectacular. For everyday use, I'd rather use an A 28/2 or
a K 28/3.5 (and, this is for optical reasons, not just for compactness).
My number one complaint about the lens is that one is forced to choose one of
its built-in filters at all times (and I ~hate~ that). Unlike the filter
choices in the K/A 15/3.5 (where one can select "no filter"), the 28/3.5
Shift must have been designed by an engineer from Microsoft, since the most
"filter-less" one can get is using its skylight filter. ("Nya, nya - we know
better than you do...)
It is only a ~shift~ lens, and has no tilt function, by the way. And, there
is definitely a limit to its shift ability, as shown in a couple of photos at
the above URL.
