I saw there was some interest in these lenses in the Photo section so i though I would post a few shots done with tilts.
I have the 24 & 90 Canon and think they’re the ducks nuts..

Hi Zach,
Might be time to become a Canon man.. 😉 😀The only problem with tilts (IMHO) is they don’t work well for shots published small..

There’s something subtle about it that isn’t obvious unless you know what is going on. I don’t have a real clean grip on it myself, since I’ve never played with a tilt-shift lens; I know conceptually that you’re pulling the narrow depth of field slice out of perpendicular to the lens, but I’d have to mess with one to really understand how many axes it can be rotated on, etc.
Do you set a pretty wide aperture (say f/2.8) and then shift the out-of-focus areas around?
Hey David,
Great samples and great photos again!!
Love these rivers!! Thanks a lot for sharing…I was wondering, did you hand hold these lens when shoting these photos? or you use tripod?
I really really love these effect… but I am a lazy user… ;D
(do you have some close up tilting photos? ::) )
Sincerely,Mark
I think the tilts are very easy to use and work well without a tripod as most of the time I’m at or under 5.6
The shots above are fully tilted, in either vertical or landscape format, it’s tilt lenses at the extreme, they can also be used with less movment for less dramatic effects.
Both the lenses are light and not a drag to carry around and can be used without the movements for good normal shots, in fact the 90 is a very good macro lens.
(it’s designed for product shots after all)They can also be used like you say Zach to mimick 5×4 camera movemnets for increased depth of field, though it’s not esy on a 35mm because you can’t check the depth of field as exactly as you can on the big cameras – it’s a bit of a guessing game.
One big problem I have with them is focus ( both are manual only ) because the 1ds’s don’t have great focus screeens for manual lenses and it’s hard to see exactly where it’s in with such a narrow band.

Mark,
I’ll post some close ups from the 90 when I get home in a few more days.
Right now I’m in the middle of a massive road trip in no-where coastal South Australia taking rock & roll style pictures of farmers..
