7Artisans 50mm f1.4 Tilt Shift Lens Review ep.511

[@ericlundquist3466]

Loving those colors from that Fuji. That gazebo shot has perfect greens and its great seeing you going out using it.

Thanks again for your support today!

@RobTrek no problem. I'm glad to help when I can to fantastic channel

I use my OM Systems OM-1 mostly for travel photography & shoot buildings/temples/shrines when travelling- especially to Japan. What kind of workflow can you recommend to correct perspective distortion in post?

[@RobTrek]

Be sure to shoot much wider than you would otherwise. This will leave room to correct in post processing. Also try to make at least one of the planes level, usually the horizontal. You can also use the keystone Comp. tool in the camera. It will create a jpg, but this will help you compose the shot for raw processing.

@Rob Trek - Good illustration of the features and potential of a tilt shift lens. Would be great to see this in a 20mm or 24mm lens for architecture.

[@FadhilAlqassam]

I bought one, and i love this lens!

Thanks Rob for giving us such a thorough look over.. when I was watching this I was really wondering about using the corrections in software or adjustments in my Olympus EM1 Mark III... which I have used a few times. Back in the seventies I was doing contract work on some large government installations and they were unhappy with the perspective distortion that I was shooting with my 35 mm.. and in those days you couldn't rent like the tilt-shift from Nikon. I actually bought a 4X5 crown graphic and used the bellows tilts and swivels to make the corrections. Camera, lens and film holders were only 250 bucks.. and of course I learned a lot but Lord what a hassle. I would wonder about the 100mm equivalent focal length in MFT being maybe a little too telephoto for some situations.. Thanks again for such a thorough review.. you really do turn it up a notch for these hands-on videos.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. The 100mm would be very tight. That's why I didn't go for the m4/3 mount. Even on APS-C, I found it a bit too tight but would be great for flat lay and product/food photography.

[@waynecox5138]

I’m still thinking about creative options like extension tubes and diopters for shooting flowers as an example. I also saw another video that used focus peaking to show the effect.

[@RobTrek]

I love extensions tubes. BTW, is your copy of the lens also slightly off angle when rotated to 0 degrees?

[@waynecox5138]

@@RobTrek I didn’t notice that. I’ll check my copy.

[@KruellNationGaming]

It's not perfectly level with the sensor because you didn't turn it all the way to lock it into your mount. I did the same exact thing.

[@waynecox5138]

I have one in MFT.

[@RobTrek]

Do you think my review is inline with your experience with this lens?

[@waynecox5138]

@@RobTrek I’ve had the lens about a week and haven’t spent any real time with it yet. I was excited to see your review.

[@ericTrouve-wl3my]

Hi ! You did a review of a tilt adapter ring for M43 seven years ago (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGG6fYSsiq6hgqc). In comparison with this ring, is the inclination greater here and giving more tilt effect ? The ring appaired with a nikon 50mm f1,2 old lens should give a better image quality, isn't it ?

[@RobTrek]

I don't think the old Nikon lens would offer any better IQ. It's very soft wide open. As for the tilting, it's about the same. I don't think you can go wrong with either setup.
