TS lenses
Hi all,
Has anyone used either the 24 or 45 TS lens with the MKII? If so, what result? |
i used the 45mm at a wedding a few weeks ago (the photographer let me try it). I liked it a lot but it was a little tricky to get just the right focus I wanted, probably because I've only used a TS lens a couple times in the past for photos.
I'm also picking up a 45mm tomorrow that I'll be incorporating into my Love Story project this weekend. Sorry I don't have any samples online at the moment! I'm sure you've seen the tilt-shift timelapse videos on Vimeo? Amazing! -seth |

Interesting and funny. I live close to the beach where this was filmed. Nice spot. Like models but moving. Good work.

Another T/S lens for the Canon are the hartblei super rotator lenses... the advantage is that not only do they shift and tilt but the axis can be adjusted 360 degrees

I recently bought a Pentacon to EOS adapter with 11mm of shift. Basically you can mount any Pentacon 6 lens to it, and shift it 11mm in any direction.
Tilt is not too interesting to me, but shift is great if you want to film a building and keep all the vertical lines parallel. The adapter and 45mm lens together was ridiculously cheap. |

I've owned both the Canon 24mm and the 45mm TSE lenses. If you want the tilt swing defocus look then I would go for the 45mm or possibly the 90mm. I think the longer lenses give a more prounouced effect.
I now use a Nikon 85mm PC lens and a Nikon 24mm f3.5 PC-E lens with Canon adapters.

(edit - forgot to add the Mirex to this http://www.mirex-adapter.de/index.htm) For simple perspective correction using shift only there are plenty of choices, you can use Nikon, Olympus or Eastern European shift lenses amongst others.
