    A couple of points ...

    (1) On architecture, I think greater discussion of software correction might have been made. Not so many people might justify the expense of a T&S lens. Using standard lenses, buildings appear normal if the camera is held normally with the sensor vertical. To fit a building into the field of view may require a wider lens than usual, so a wide angle lens would help here. If a camera has to be tilted to fit the view, then the image can be procesed with software but there are other options than Photoshop which are cheaper. These can "squeeze" the sides in on a photograph to straighten up the edges of a building. The proportions may be thrown out a little (which a professional could not accept) but the buidlings will lose the lean-back look. It is worth remembering that in correcting the image, the sides of the image may be tapered after processing, which has to be cropped out, so enough room needs to be kept around the building to enable the final crop to snip off the tapered edges of the adjusted image.

    (2) On focus stacking, those of us without new kit are able to implement this by the old-fashioned method of manually adjusting the focus between shots. Again, Photoshop is often plugged in the magazine but there is cheaper software available on the market to stack images, which works quite well.
