I'm not sure 11mm of ****ft is that much at 38mm equivalent though. I use
an 85mm tilt/****ft micro-nikkor on a D200 and the ****ft does almost
nothing. It's intended for table-top product shooting to keep lines
straight & control DOF. The tilt is super handy though because DOF is
tight with closeups and it's a very sharp lens, extremely useful for my
purposes. The ****ft would be more useful if it allowed more ****ft on a
crop frame camera, it would be nice if the new Nikon t/s lenses did that
but it won't happen.
Anyways I'd say that if you want a wide ****ft lens, full frame is
necessary. I've tinkered around with 28mm plunger-cam tilt ****ft on crop
frame and it's well, 'normal', not wide.

Sounds fun! That (Hartblei?) probably gets a lot of ****ft.
