[@StephenStrangways]

Angling it away from something to throw it out of focus is only half the trick - matching the angle of something to keep it all in focus is the other possibility this lens provides.

[@snappiness]

That's a good point!

[@joel6376]

..and what the product is actually made for (maybe not this one, but the pro lenses)

[@snappiness]

@mipmipmipmipmip the perspective control part (shift) isn't here, but you could stand under a skyscraper and make the top and bottom equally in focus. This lens is more of a creative lens than practical uses like a traditional tilt-shift lens

[@HouseofJello]

@@snappiness They are very practical for landscape work. They mimic the movements available on a large format camera.

[@donsimpsonshead8809]

This is the same comment I wanted to make. With traditional larger tilt lenses, we would tilt the entire lens using the bellows to straighten items out and remove distortion, like on a product shot where you can’t get the tripod at the correct height. Architectural photographers would use tilt lenses to remove the distance distortion of tall buildings as it’s usually impossible to photograph them at the center line. We rarely used the tilt lenses to do anything else, but I started out in commercial photography.

[@Drpftnst]

these kind of lenses were originally designed for things like architecture and landscape. with the right combination of tilt and focus, you can get a landscape completely sharp from foreground to infinity at something like f/4 or 5.6 which would be impossible for a normal lens.

[@fepatton]

Yeah, it’s funny that everyone wants to throw things OUT of focus. I shot 4x5 for many years, and being able to focus every thing near to far (or using from rise to keep lines parallel) was half the point!

[@canturgan]

They're actually mostly used to correct converging vertices.

[@bobby350z]

​@@canturgan that's is shift lens not tilt.

[@Drpftnst]

@@canturgan that's why I said architecture, but I don't believe this lens has the ability to do rise/fall which is why I only mentioned the landscape method

[@Drpftnst]

[@SourPlanet]

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]

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.

Thanks for the tip! I had not heard of that lens before!

[@christer1415]

I looked at Christopher Frost's review of it. Doesn't seem to be "crazy sharp" at all. He also reviewed this TTartisan lens. Feels like both give bad image quality - what you expect for the price. I'll continue play with the TTartisan I just got. The Astrhori seems to be best to use on APS-C when tilting too, I have FF.

[@mymini67]

Fotodiox make tilt/shift/rotate adapters for about $150 which give the ability to use quality "vintage" glass with modern digital cameras... And therefore don't limit focal length to 50mm. My favourite is a Tamron 17mm adaptal (OM mount) on my X-T1! Much fun to be had!

[@unbroken1010]

They still make them ?

[@IndigoEyePhotography]

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.

[@unbroken1010]

Meaning you want a tilt and shift?

[@weisserth]

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.

[@snappiness]

I would love to play with shift too, I'll have to play with one of those adapters sometime!

[@weisserth]

@@snappiness Take a look at the adapters that Fotodiox makes, I have the Tilt/Shift MD-MFT adapter, the built quality is great. I allows for shift on one axis and tilt into one direction at the same time, the adapter allows for 360 degree rotation on the mount. They probably make that adapter for all kinds of mount combinations.

[@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...

[@unbroken1010]

Have you used it on a omd 1or 5 same problem? Still worth getting of md

[@unbroken1010]

Are we supposed to know who t.w. is? ​@@jlwilliams

[@feraudyh]

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.

[@MikeSkrzynski]

I understand this is a product spot, and a solid looking lens, though it would have been nice to hear a little comparison with other "affordable" tilt-shift lens. Off the top of my head, I'd like to know how this compares to the likes of Lensbaby, whom have had similar lens for well over a decade.

[@avsaam]

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.

[@extrmfpv08]

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!

[@SilentKnight43]

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.

[@cyphre]

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!

[@radarmusen]

It’s the first camera lenses I have seen there use Scheimpflug technologies , I only have seen it been used on projectors in simulators.

[@MrBeugh]

Nikon famously made a PC' (Perspective Control) lens for changing the perspective of subjects like tall buildings.

[@luigi92124]

It is also good for high buildings (to get the right proportions) or product photography.

[@estebanod]

Nice video, straight to the point, and nice looking videographer too I'm subscribing 👍

[@JuanBuhler]

I've been curious about this lens although I make do with tilt adaptors. Seems to me that 50mm full frame at f2 or so is the sweet spot for the tilt effect anyway. That said, the more significant thing from the video for me is to see you with an X-T1, probably the best overall mirrorless camera made in the last ten years! It's a gateway drug as you might already know 😀 I just sold my X-E3 and a bunch of lenses to fund a mint X-Pro3 that arrived yesterday...

[@snappiness]

Gratz on the xpro3! Which finish did you go with? There will be lots on the xt1 in the coming months. Last year I got to borrow an xe1 and XM1 and it really brought me back to thinking about Fuji. The Fuji xt1 is a really solid entry into the system. I'm also really excited to see lots more third party lens options for the system. Not that the Fuji lenses are bad (far from it from what I've heard) just expensive.

[@JuanBuhler]

@@snappiness I just got the plain black one, was wary of the other finishes getting dirty very quickly. The XT1 is not just an entry to the system, it's one of their best, I think. I have an X-T3, and when I'm not in need of fast AF I always take the X-T1. They are very similar but there's something about the exact shape of the XT1 grip that makes it a pleasure to use. Yeah it's nice to see third party lenses. I recently got the TTArtisan 40mm macro, that's a nice one for these cameras.

I believe Samyang (who makes lenses sold under other brand names like Rokinon) had a couple of full frame tilt/shift lenses I recall. They were much more expensive than this as I recall. I've had a couple Rokinon lenses and was always super impressed with them though.

I just bought a used Samyang T-S 24/3.5 for Nikon F for $300. The previous owner only used it a few times, so it was in pristine condition. Now I'm giving it a hard time and enjoying using it, especially tilt. Enjoy! 😊

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Years ago I had access to a Calumet 4 x 5 studio view camera. With the bellows in front, it was possible to tilt in multiple directions. It was very useful for Architectural Photography allowing you to compensate for parallax errors. I loved it for Landscape Photography because it had amazing fine detail.

[@snappiness]

That is seriously cool. It would be amazing to shoot on a camera like that one day!

@@snappiness Thanks for comment. It was back in my college days. I had taken every photo class available. Extra Credit to master 4 x 5 view camera. It was awesome. You could make a 4 x 5 contact print directly with amazing detail. Also could enlarge to poster size and still have fine detail. I loaded film packs, developed film and prints. Those were the days.

[@snappiness]

@@SJR_Media_Group I bet seeing those prints come to life was amazing. I haven't done any darkroom printing. The most I've done is developing 35mm rolls, and that felt complicated enough!

[@SJR_Media_Group]

@@snappiness I began developing B/W in my bathroom darkroom at age 12. It was 127 roll film I think. Getting film on the reel in total darkness was hardest part. I made tiny contract prints, didn't have an enlarger then. Graduated to 35mm and in college did my own B/W developing and 8 x 10 prints. Always wanted to do color, but never did. After college I worked part time for a studio. I did weddings, school events, etc. Used a Hasselblad 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 format. Also used Mamiya 2 /14 x 2 3/4 format. It was a great camera, could turn film pack to portrait or landscape. Both cameras used 120 roll film. I still have my Minolta 202 35mm film camera. I did graduate to DSLR and went with Canon. Right now looking at Canon EOS D90 camera to replace an older Canon. Lenses are interchangeable. THANK YOU for the info on the Tilt Lenses. I might have to buy that.

[@douglasstemke2444]

While not a tilt lens, I used to have the 28mm shift lens and now own the 15mm f4 Laowa macro tilt lens. It has become one of my favorite lenses for macro with landscape included and for close forest landscapes to avoid leaning trees. I was wondering though, is the lens you listed is any different from the Lens Baby (other than price)

[@Max.Paprika]

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.

[@douglasstemke2444]

@@Max.Paprika Thanks for the detailed answer!

[@Max.Paprika]

Ah, I meant to say the one thing they don't do is shift. Not tilt. Of course they tilt. But I'm glad the rest of it made sense!

[@TheJagjr4450]

I used an enlarger lens attached usings a rubber sleeve and got some incredible photos of the inside of flowers with pollen looking like grains of sand..

[@daveslastchance]

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.

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

Who gives a shit. It's fun to use. Go back to the DxO forums.

[@caleidoo]

If it has practical use, why would it only matter to large format? Tilt/shift lenses are used for architectural interior and exterior photography. These days less, because software has gotten better. But it was the work horse a decade ago. On full frame or APS-C digital.

[@snappiness]

Good questions! It does not shift, only tilt. So you can adjust for plane of focus but not perspective. It's more of a creative/fun lens, not a lens for architecture (unless you just needed to adjust focus plane for your use case). Hope that helps.

[@jimzielinski946]

I have a few shift (bought used) and a few eastern European tilt lenses (reasonable cost even when new). I always dreampt of finding a company that would make essentially a view camera-like bellows adapter with movements and locking nuts and replaceable lens boards for a 35mm camera (preferably in pentax screw or T-mount) . It never happened. I would have thought that a company like Lomography or Lens Baby could have done that.. cheaply. Such an adapter would be more versatile and give you more "degrees of freedom".

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]

@@StephenStrangways oh, I didn't know that! That's actually something you couldn't do otherwise, short of stopping down your aperture a whole bunch

[@StephenStrangways]

@@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!

[@snappiness]

Thanks Scott, that's mighty kind of you to say :)

[@burpmcplurbison3695]

ur a shallow depth of field.... Love ur stuff keep it up

[@blacklion79]

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 :-(

[@StephenYang]

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

[@petepictures]

Yea, I was meaning to buy similar adapter for my MFT cameras

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

[@remektekmedia6641]

Perpendicular means at right angle. What you’re describing is PARALLEL.

[@jan_phd]

OMG! You broke that lens... hey everyone! He broke that lens!!

[@sreeramdrums7163]

hey hows the lens working now ! how is its seal and quality over time ?!

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

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.

[@unbroken1010]

Like to see it vs a lens baby. Be interesting comparison

[@regalwalnut]

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

[@snappiness]

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! 😀

[@Fabulaz]

Idk.. because of the cheap tilt shift filtlers on smartphone this kind of breaks the need of these lenses (I think?)

[@meassavuth4649]

Oh my god ! New generation

[@danieldoctor2965]

Whats the name of the lens? Does it need adapter for fuji x mount?

[@Bobster986]

I thought these lens were originally use for architectural photography?

[@adampatterson]

I remember seeing this decades ago, they were originally meant for architecture photography.

[@marmite9991]

Great upload, consice and to the point.

[@TheDinnermoney]

Nice review! I like your approach. I love TTArtisan lenses for creative work. Cheap but well made, no fancy electronics but I don't need that very often as I shoot mostly in manual anyway. I have the 7.5mm fisheye and the 40mm macro, both are great.

[@copper12heavy69]

That is pretty cool.

[@SuperKamoman]

Wish they had one for the Nikon F mount unless I am missing another reason it wouldn't work.

[@snappiness]

It would need to be a different design to work for those longer flange distances, but there are definitely tilt lenses for SLR mounts so it's possible.

[@adrianmihoc2816]

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

[@chazlabreck]

seems to me an add on warped lens would work for way cheap.

[@pinkeye00]

As an alternative Nikon 28mm F/2.8 PC, 35mm F/2.8 PC with adapter. way sharper, manual focus, all the same features, and so much better.

[@caleidoo]

The 1.4 opens up a completely new world, the bokeh is far more visible.. The PC lenses are for pro architectural work. This lens is not. More for experimental/fun/dreamy portrait stuff.

Umm my 35,2.8 nikkor PC rocks. Old ais. And did anyone ever see, use or own a hasselblad swc modified by marty frosher as a pc. Dammm that swc is sweet,

I was looking for tilt lens for Canon, but I got myself Fuji GX680 :p

[@Vitaliuz]

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

[@viniciusgotosleep]

I've been wanting to get one of these, has your copy developed any play in the mechanisms?

[@snappiness]

Still no extra play, it's remained good! And I'm not exactly careful with my gear...

[@videobeez]

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

[@mattkincaid7140]

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

[@snappiness]

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.
