Tilt Shift Lenses | How do they work and do we care?

In this video, Jeff describes the Scheimpflug Principle, how tilt-shift lenses work, his experience using the Canon 24mm, 90mm and 135mm TS lenses - and how they are employed by specialists like product, architectural and landscape photographers.
Canon lenses are used in this video - but the concepts apply across all perspective control lenses of any type or brand. It will be worth keeping an eye on any new TS lenses coming down the pipe as well...

    Adapting these to Sony E is the best 😁

    Thanks for the video. I use the limited shift feature of my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my full-frame cameras to control perspective. When I need to control the depth-of-field by using the Scheimpflug principle to alter the plane of focus, I use a Nikon to Fuji tilt adapter to mount my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens on an APS-C Fuji X body. This adapter adds a tilt feature to a lens that has a shift feature. The only disadvantage to this method is that the 28mm wide-angle lens now performs like a normal lens. If the front shift/tilt movements of my Nikon 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my Fuji X body with a tilt adapter does not meet my needs, I use the front and rear shift/tilt features of my 4x5 inch monorail view camera.

    The 24mm is one of my favorite lenses. I’ve shot a lot of architecture with it. I would even use it with the teleextender to get a ~35mm TSE. Good stuff! Thanks for watching!

    I've seen examples DXO ViewPoint is the best software for fixing lines. Not saying its as good as a tilt shift lens but its better then other software.

    Have a 45 tse that shares the workload equally with a 100 macro. Have been toying with getting a 90 tse as the best of both worlds. I’m sad to hear your news Excellent video, thanks. Will go find your offering on the 90 …. Even if I can’ t buy one.

    I would keep those lens because you can adapt them to any other camera system. Sure the RF version might be sharper but I think its over kill.

    I am waiting on the RF 24mm tilt shift one to come out helps a lot when shooting the giant sequoias, did the photoshop thing but sometimes it gets wonky and you can tell it isn't right because of the moss or tree bark.
