See http://paulroark.com/OceanoDunes.html

That shot was with the Rollei SL66 and 50mm Distagon.  What I failed to say in the short notes on that image is what a pain it was to correct for the defects in that Zeiss lens.  It was clearly meant to be shot at infinity focus.  With the amount of tilt needed for the Oceano Dunes shot not only does it need to be at f/22, but still the corners were a mess that needed a lot of work to repair.  Hopefully Canon has designed its new 24mm TS-E to be less sensitive to focus distance, but it's historically been a problem with retrofocus lenses.
