    Outstanding! Sincere thanks to Mark for providing a proper demonstration of exactly how tilt lenses shift the focus plane on the sensor. I finally fully comprehend how these lens do what they do and why one would use such a lens. I almost every other demo I’ve seen of tilt lenses the operator has used a vertical tilt plane vs a horizontal one. These were all landscape photos where the effect isn’t nearly as pronounced due to an actual horizon being the subject of the photo. Now, I finally get it! The light is no longer striking the sensor at a perfect 90°, so subjects on the edges are outside the DOF, leaving them out of focus. I have struggled to understand use cases for these tilt-shift lens. I haven’t yet finished the video because I had to comment about my eureka moment, but I am curious about the shift function as well, but it’s unclear if this lens shifts the focus image as well. Thank you, Mark! 🙏

    Very good explanatory piece for "tilt" lens movements, Mark. I've been using tilt/shift lenses for 20+ years for various occasional project needs but largely learned on my own thru experimentation and small printed references. Yours is the best basic treatise I've seen in video. Thank you.

    Exactly! The practical explanation with visual examples is the best I've seen so far. Although I'm quite interested in it for architectural photography, I would never find out much about how they're actually done. I knew in theory but not like this. And also, the price of Tilt shifts are a huge deterrent up until now.

    Thanks for the video. When shooting architecture, still life, and products, I occasionally need to alter the plane-of-focus and/or the depth-of-field. In those situations, I use my 4x5 inch large format monorail view camera with full front and back shift/tilt/slide/swing features. I also have the option of using a Nikon F-mount 28mm full-frame lens with a limited shift feature. I also have a Nikon F to Fuji X lens mount adapter with a limited tilt feature. At the moment, I do not need the tilt feature of the TTartisan 50mm f/1.4 lens for my Fuji X cameras. However, if my needs change, I will keep this reasonably priced tilt lens in mind.

    Killing it Mark! Don't know if I can justify the purchase on this one yet, but for sure high up on my wishlist! Do you have a product photography video by chance? My impromptu product shots (mostly just things I'm selling) always seem rather lackluster, prolly just an issue with my lighting and was curious if you've touched that subject at all. Keep it up! Edit, also drat I wish they were still making EF mount glass. Then I could use on both my M & R series with an adapter, hmm

    As someone that likes doing ICM photography, I bet you could get some wild effects from tilting that lens, then rotating it 360 while the long exposure shutter is open. Nice review Mark. I'll definitely add this to my list of lenses to try

    The vignette probably isn’t there on APSc as it looks like this was tested on a FF sony. Even though it’s not sharp at 1.4 some people will accept that on wide images for dark or night shooting scenarios rather than crank up the ISO and introduce more grain.

  • @markwiemels

    @markwiemels

    6 ай бұрын

    Yes, this is tilt only. It's somewhat complicated to explain, but tilt changes the focal plane, shift changes the perspective. You know how when you look at a tall building, from the bottom, the top of the building looks more narrow (smaller) than the bottom, because of your perspective? The shift fixes that, and makes the building look square and even all the way up. Then you use the tilt function, in that same lens, so make sure the whole building is in focus.

    But it’s not shifting, it’s tilting. The optical axis of the lens is no longer perpendicular to the sensor. That’s tilting. Shifting is when the optical axis is perpendicular to the sensor, but it isn’t colinear with the centre of the sensor.

  • @benbunch4159

    Comparable lenses were not 3-4x the cost. You are comparing to tilt-shift lenses. Shift is what makes them expensive and is the main functionality.
