If it can be tweaked, I'll have it tweaked. If it's an inherent thing that I had never noticed in my 3 previous M bodies, I'll learn to compensate. I'll admit that this particular job of mine really was a job for a view camera, and I even own one, but I think my friend needs to sell a few paintings before she'll be able to afford to pay me for that! Nothing like realizing how easy a job would be if only the darned camera had swings and shifts...
