Tilt-shift lenses are relatively rare among the other camera lenses. 11mm shifting, 8 mm tilting and 360o rotating. This mechanism creates the ’tilt’ and ‘shift’ effect. This multicoated ARAX 80 mm Tilt/Shift compact lens has a high quality precision CANON type T&S mechanism. Tilting the lens doesnt increase depth of field rather, it. There is an extensive documentation of conversion of the lens in the "photography on the net" forums. A tilt-shift lens works based on the ‘ Scheimpflug principle ‘ that allows photographers to move the plane’s angle between the lens and the camera sensor. The tilt capability of a PC lens provides an incredible amount of control of image sharpness. I'm pretty sure it would also make an excellent architectural lens on the sony but the lens will have to be modified because the register is too short for Sony SLR use as is.
Shift lens full#
I'm not sure how well the canon would work for architecture but it certainly looks good on the Nex-5 with full shift in both directions. In the end I think I'm just going to do rotational stitching with focus blending since my probable next camera, the Sigma SD1, is unlikely to have live view. That removes the possibility of parallax and is an inherently more accurate technique. This Laowa 20mm 4.0 Shift does not feature such record breaking specifiations so may not seem as exciting at first sight, but its normal 82mm filter thread still is a unique selling point compared to the 15mm 4.5, Canon TS-E. I got the canon because I was also interested in flat, sometimes called orthographic, stitching where you mount the lens on the tripod and slide the camera while the lens remains steady. Laowa gave us the widest rectilinear lens, the fastest 35mm lens and also the widest shift lens, to only name a few. The tilt adapter works but it is much easier to use with live view than without. I am interested in landscape use and in avoiding focus blending.
I also have a 50mm f4 flektogon P6 mount lens on a tilt adapter that I used with both canon and sony SLRs.
