If you want to try another affordable take on this concept, check out the Astrhori 50/1.4 Tilt. Unlike the other budget tilts, it's actually sharp. Like, crazy sharp. The tilt mechanism is a ball joint that the lens rotates around totally unrestrained. My favorite in the genre by a wide margin.

@caleidoo

Жыл бұрын

But the Astrhori introduces heavy vignetting at the extremes. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The TTArtisan also has a better mechanism, but is less sharp wide open. Ideally, TTArtisan should sell the adapter and let you attach your own lenses - I have lots of F mount Nikon glass to use on Nikon Z. Also availability pushed me towards the TTArtisan.

@SourPlanet

@@caleidoo For me, the main factor is sharpness. This is what drives the feel, as it contrasts the bokeh and enables the smooth transition to out of focus areas. In my use, the AstrHori vignetting is only an issue if one uses the lens incorrectly. Like it must be tilted to an absurd degree to encounter vignetting- at which point the user should be recomposing entirely anyway. It's failing is certainly something you alluded too though- the lack of a smooth and easy tilt method like the TTartisan lens uses. For me, this is a bonus, fortunately (it makes street photography possible). Definitely two very different lenses that will probably appeal to two different audiences.

More options are great and it's great to see manufacturers like TTArtisan step up to the task. I bought a tilt-shift adapter to mount Minolta MD lenses to Micro Four Thirds, adding full tilt and shift abilities. The only issue with the adapter is that the viewfinder hump of most MFT cameras prevent the lens movement, so I can only use it on bodies like the Pen F or GX85. Personally, I find the shift ability more useful than the tilt.

@jlwilliams

One potential issue with all these "adapter" solutions is that most mainstream lenses are designed with an "image circle" (actual size of the image formed by the lens, before cropping by the sensor) only slightly larger than the sensor area... that helps make the lens more compact and less expensive. But once you start tilting and shifting, you can get out to the edge of the image circle pretty quickly and get poor sharpness, vignetting, or even outright cutoff of the image. One way around that is to use lenses designed for a larger format, as T.W. is doing with his Minolta 36x24 lenses on Micro Four Thirds. The larger image circle gives you more room to shift and tilt. Of course a real tilt lens (presumably such as this one) is designed with a larger image circle in the first place...

It's worth noting that tilt-only lenses tend to vignette strongly esp. at more extreme angles. Besides having a larger image circle, another way the vignetting (and image stretching) can be counteracted is to allow lens shifting parallel to the direction of the tilt.

Meaning you want a tilt and shift?

I've got tilt and shift combined. This one does not have shift. One thing the presenter does not mention is that you can use it to make a field of lilies sharp from the closest to the horizon. However focusing for that requires a lot of patience.

Also to note, the aperature and focus rings are smooth moving and "grippy" like this, because you can attach motors to wirelessly pull focus and aperature, often used on professional movie sets. Cool lens!

Definitely super neat. Although funny that they still added the gear teeth, I guess if you also wanted to add motorized focusing adjustments for some reason. Would prove difficult to use when tilted!

I seem to recall a photo editor I worked with years ago (thinking it was Ulead's PhotoImpact) that had a tilt-shift f/x filter built-in. Tried it a few times and the effects were somewhat passable - but it was a gimmicky thing I didn't have much use for at the time.

S. Strangways makes an important point. Before the availabilty of tilt-shift lenses for SLRs, the ability to angle the plane of focus (and it's corresponding depth of field) was only achievable with large format cameras. A common configuration was to tilt the lens down so that everything from forground to infinity was in focus -- or at least so that it appeared in focus to the human eye. With the amazing array of adjustments offered by editing/developing software, it seems that this effect could be achieved by focus stacking. Some DSLRs have now have a built-in focus stacking feature. All being said, it's still better to make the most adjustments you can with your camera. Canon offers a number of tilt-shift lenses, but they are far more expensive ($1,800 and up) than the TTArtisan discussed in this video, which makes it a much less expensive way to explore tilts and shifts -- or swings and tilts as it's called in the large format world.

@Max.Paprika

Жыл бұрын

The first difference is the way tilting works. With Lensbaby, you unlock the tilting mechanism the same way you'd open a jar lid, unscrewing the lens fitting so it can freely tilt. It takes a bit more work than the TTArtisan lens seems to require. But Lensbaby's products are primarily lenses that tilt, but also have one other quirk about them. (I'm trying not to call them gimmicks, likely due to how much money I've spent on my collection). Some have swirly bokeh, or dual irises, or '80s glamour-style soft focus, or a radial blur on everything that's not in focus. They don't all tilt, but even with the ones that do, they tend to tilt *and* do something else. The tilting helps control and enhance the direction and strength of those extra features. The one thing none of these lenses do is tilt, so they're not technically tilt-shift lenses, which is what would really make that miniature look come to life. I have very little experience with actual tilt-shift lenses, but tilting is enough for me to manage at this point anyway.

This concept in small format cameras is not nearly as meaningful as it was in larger format cameras. When film sizes were 4 x 5, 5 x 7, 8 x 10 and larger sheet film in view cameras, tilting the lens axis was necessary to get the entire image in focus. This was especially important in architectural photography where both the top and bottom of a building needed to be sharp. It was also used to keep verticals from converging. In many old black and white city photos, you can clearly see when lens shift and/or tilt was used in correcting an image.

You would have to rotate your entire camera to achieve this but that would ruin the composition.) Is there a way to ensure when buying it that the copy I get doesn't have this 90 degree limitation?

I am shooting with an XT30. When I attach this lens my shutter release does not work. Am I missing a setting?

Yes, there is a setting on all Fujifilms in the menu that allows you to "release without lens". This is because manuly of these manual lenses have no electronic contacts with the camera, so the camera isn't aware they are even there.

Soooo, it's not for shooting architecture without the paralax effect or whatever it called when lines are not perpedincular but all go into one point into the distance? EDIT: apparently these lenses are called "perspective control" lenses and for architecture they need to be tilt-shift.

That's right, the tilt-shift lenses are for correcting perspective. Those are particularly expensive but of course have professional applications. This is more of a creative effect type lens.

The Laowa is available in K mount like $400 during Black Friday. Great lens, both shift and macro.

It's unfortunate that they don't have a Canon EF mount for this. Considering how few RF mount lenses actually make use of the format above and beyond what the EF mount can accomplish, it's just sad. It looks like a cool lens though.

You can obtain every effect you mentioned in your video, but this lenses are not meant for that at all. More likely you get this effects when you actually don't understand how to use it to get a sharp image on entire dof and no distortion ( straight lines ).... This is a lens for architects to use

I do wonder what the point of buying a lens like this is when the effect can be recreated almost exactly the same through software?

If you want to go that route, go for it! Great way to play with the look without spending any extra dough. I think the same could be said for a lot of photography...

This lens can be used not just to throw things out of focus, but to keep things in focus that aren't straight across the film plane: think of shooting along something at a 45 degree angle, like that train bridge but a more extreme angle, and keeping all of it in focus from near to far, but anything at the opposite angle falls even more out of focus. Can't fake that in software.

@@patrickbridge2143 even then, stopping down would get everything in focus, whereas tilting would get your desired subject sharp but not other things. It's quite a unique and interesting effect. You probably could fake it by shooting a series of shots at different focus points (focus bracketing,) then stack them to get everything sharp, then mask out certain areas to just show the out of focus parts on of the frames for the parts you want to be out of focus... but a tilt lens is definitely faster and easier!

Great video! I have just bought one myself. I can't get the shutter release to work on my xt20 though … the touch screen does not respond either. Pressed the shutter release but nothing happens : ( Any tips?

On my XT1 there's an option in the camera menu #3 called "shoot without lens". Do you have that, and is it turned on? Try that.

Can this cover a medium format sensor

concerning the ' miniature effect'...i'v gpt this possibility on my Fuji camera's trough settings- software. it looks (almost ) the same as the samples in your video. I never use it though. And the samples i see on FLICKR look awful

I take it by your sweater and winter pictures you moved to a colder climate. ;-) Iowa?

Yes! A little town called Ottumwa in Iowa. A big cross country move. I've forgotten what it's like to photograph in the cold 😬 This is also why the video was shot sort of haphazardly in a blank space - still getting my new studio space setup! 😀

Really, volume of DoF becomes wedge-like when lens is tilted. There is very complex mathematics under this. And it is very hard to visualize results, so if you need very well-controlled DoF you need laser range finder with built-in tiltmeter and some complex tables and/or special calculator in your smartphone. But tilt without shift is not much useful :-(

What's the opposite of tilt-shift? Forced perspective? Fish eye?

A Siemens C65 has the very same effect. Free of charge.

Is there one for Canon cameras?

ohhhhh. i didnt realize shift and tilt were different effects. i thought these were for architecture shots and wondered why anyone would do that with a 50. but im thinking of shift and not tilt!

@snappiness

Right! And they are often combined in the same lens for those more expensive technical type lenses. This is more for the fun effect.

the canon EF mount TS/E are a better build with the shift function, cheap on ebay

I got the idea from someone else years ago, but don't remember where. I disassembled the rear of an old Minolta lens and wrapped a bike tube around it. Then I stretched the other end of the tube to a hollowed body cap. I think it would actually work sort of okay on a mirrorless camera. I had a DSLR at the time and the flange distance made it so I could really only do the tilt effect for close focus type shots. But it was cool. You also have to be holding the lens in it's position, as it obviously can't lock down like this lens can. But once again for just messing around it was very fun!
