Yes, Matt, I purchased that very lens a couple of years ago. I used to use a view camera so I understand them well. Was fortunate to find a used one in perfect condition. It does not get much use but when it is needed it can do what no other lens can. Takes time to operate and makes you think your shot through. That is good.

Thanks for this one Mat. Yep, I have a Schneider 28mm PC Shift lens, no tilt. I'm one of the 'old school' going for correct image geometry in everything: Architecture, landscapes and product photography. And as in your demonstration with the mirror, when photographing artwork framed with glass, using the shift horizontally, I can avoid getting myself in the picture, literally. Similar to 'side stepping' in the mirror example, I was needing to photograph an oil painting which was in a really awkward position, being way too high up a wall to handle with vertical shift, but near enough to an interior mezzanine balcony, that when up on the balcony, I used the horizontal shift to get a perfect rectilinear image of the painting without having to lean too far out. The camera was mounted on the tripod head (using a 3-way levelling head) first aiming it perpendicularly to the wall, (film plane parallel to the wall) then using full horizontal shift. Bingo! The Schneider 28mm PC was also in the Leica R lens range. The current Schneider shift lenses are now tilt/shift. I was tossing up whether to get a new state of the art upgrade, but for the same price bought a good, used Linhof Technika, which takes care of all my tilt needs. People new to these things must get used to manual stopping down from viewing to working aperture.

I know I am 4 years late to the game, but the almighty algorithm has just served me this excellent video. After a severe attack of GAS, I found online that for about 200$ adapters for mirrorless cameras can be found to adapt old, manual vintage lenses with tilt-shift ability. Suitable vintage lenses can be found around 50$, so that going this route will only cost about a third of the Samyang presented here. Edit: The image circle might be a problem. But I am using vintage lenses intented for FF on APSC anyway...

Hi Matt, thank you very much for your demo, very informative, hence,, that in early days of my Photography Career, we were photographing Architecture objects, with large format cameras, like Sinar, linhof, Arca Swiss, calumet, etc...those cameras, had what we call Tilt, and shifting the Lens plane or the back standard were the Film Holder was called the back standard, tilting and shifting those standards, were mainly used for accentuating the sharpness of the focal plane of that object (Scheimpflug )those old days we were taught at school what large format cameras were making magical results, to sharpen or de sharen a point of focus.

@20centurymodern8 жыл бұрын
Another great tool that you can use tilt shift lenses for is to make a panorama from a series of images using the shift feature. For example you could shoot a landscape and get the lower part of the frame, then shift the lens up to get the landscape and the clouds and then stich these images in post processing. Using a tilt shift in this way will mean you can get super wide detailed shots but not with distortion.

I love this lens on my Pentax K-1. Matt you mentioned landscapes, you can also shift left and right then stitch to get a wider angle of view. You can also shift up and down, into the corners to create and very large megapixel image in a 3:4 ratio. Another is to use the tilet on a scale model to make it life like (as they do in the movies to make you think the boat being smashed by a storm in a tank is the real thing) As you said, lots of possibilities.

I'm baffled at how it could work, but have my fingers crossed someone like you would consider evaluating such a system. Thanks for reading this either way. Cheers!
@wandererstraining8 жыл бұрын
I have one, and it's sorta homemade. :) I used a Kipon tilt-shift adaptor, Nikon G to Sony E, and a Tamron 15-30 f/2.8. It works both on my A6000 and on my A7R, but I can't have the lens placed vertically at 15mm on the A7R, because the lens hood (non-removable) gets in the shot. But at about 20mm, the lens hood is no longer visible. The lens also still allows a pretty good amount of shift on the A7R, depending the focal length. And it works really well at any focal length on the A6000. For those shooting mirrorless cameras, I definitely recommend using the Kipon tilt-shift adapters. They are well made and can give you a really good variety of focal lengths to use for a much cheaper price. Want a 24mm, 45mm and 90mm? Get all of these for the price of less than one dedicated tilt-shift lens.
@machintelligence8 жыл бұрын
+wandererstraining Thanks for the advice. I am contemplating buying the new Olympus digital PEN F and have quite a few Olympus film camera lenses in both formats (PEN and OM). I had seen the tilt and shift adapter and thought it might be fun to use it with my 21 mm lens. The adapter is pricey at $300 but using it on different focal length lenses makes it seem like a better deal.
@wandererstraining8 жыл бұрын
machintelligence To me, it's really worth it. Tilt-shift lenses are expensive, and are not available for a lot of mounts in the desired field of view. For example, 24mm TS lens for APS-C is too narrow for many interior shots, and even more so for m43. With the Tamron at 15mm, I can go even wider on an APS-C than I can on a 24mm TS on full-frame. On m43, you wouldn't be able to use it as wide, but it would still not be that bad at 30mm. So yeah, if you have a bunch of lenses you could use with it, it's absolutely worth it I think. And with the PEN F's high res mode, man, you could get insanely detailed shots!

Hi Matt, I got myself a russian middle format (Pentax M6?) lens converted to a tilt shift a few years back (35mm). It's working ok, and I like the not too obvious tilted fokus planes best so far. Just a little additional guidance for the eye and making stuff off to the sides just that little bit less a fokus of the image. The miniature mode works only sometimes for me. However, on my D80/D7000/D7200 I can't turn the lens 90° around as you do. The Flash Bulk gets in the way. Is the samyang actually so slim that you can turn it around on one of the Nikon APS-C cameras? It has an interesting price point....
