Ramiro,
Try doing a "cityscape" (landscape view of a city). I've seen some photos done with an Aero Ektar that make distant buildings look like tiny models. I would like to try it one day, but I've never owned one of these lenses. The cityscapes makes me wonder if the next photo will have Godzilla entering stage left.

You did a fantastic job!

My first photo taken with my Calumet 4x5. Expired Tmax 100. Tray processed film. Self portrait. Tied a string around my toe and ran it through a pulley system to shoot this.

Chris, I've seen that. I think it has to do more with the heavy use of tilt and shift by AE owners rather than the lens itself.
I am trying some "town scapes" since my home town isn't large enough
