With Focus Stacking is there still a need for tilt lenses? With Photoshop, is there still a need for shift lenses?

It is lessened but in the case where you have stuff moving, like on a windy day, a lens with tilt that can get the shot in a single exposure is still useful. As for shift, for architectural photography, unless you want to create fake pixels using the keystone tools in your imaging software, you would have to use shift to keep buildings from looking like they are falling back.

Pretty limited and specific. The new canon TS lenses now have a visible focus breathing according to TDP. Have the set and considering whether to upgrade. Having a hard time deciding whether it is worth it. I've mainly used the tilt.
