More and more affordable tilt / tilt-shift lenses are hitting the market these days and this one, at only $226, has to be the best value of all! Can it possibly be any good though, at that price point?

The shift function is also useful for taking pictures of reflective objects without the camera or photographer being in the frame.

@MattTrevett 4 месяца назад

Wowie. Definitely one of those lenses that you need to remember the sweet spot for aperture. Some of the professional lenses are good wide open, but the budget ones I've gotta cheat sheet to quickly remember the optimal settings. I do like 7artisan's willingness to make creative lenses on a budget even if the image quality isn't always 100%.

@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 4 месяца назад

Not sure it requires a cheat sheet.. just remember that between 2.8 and 8, you’re good to go!

@MattTrevett 4 месяца назад

@@harveymanfrantinsingin7373 I like to know the widest and narrowest aperture for each lens to achieve optimal light input and image quality. Usually the range of 2.8 to 8 is good but I have some lenses that are perfect at 1.4 and some that need f/4 to look their best.

@okaro6595 4 месяца назад

Tilt and shift lenses always have a much larger image circle than normal lenses so they will work at leat to sobe extent on larger sensors also.

@christopherfrost 4 месяца назад

That's correct. What took me by surprise here though was that, even when fully shifted, the lens still gave a FF image circle

@ricardoromanach 4 месяца назад

@@christopherfrost yeah, normally we see tons more vignetting when they’re shifted, but there wasn’t nearly as much as one of the other tilt shift lenses you did recently. Maybe it’s because it’s not as wide of an angle?

@christopherfrost 4 месяца назад

I think a key issue (and this is something I should have emphasised a bit more in the review) is that the lens doesn't actually seem to shift a very long way

@nilsl8168 4 месяца назад

@swistedfilms 4 месяца назад

Not bad for a bargain tilt/shift! If you just think of it as an f/4 then you've got a sharp lens with the only trade-off being that you have to use a tripod in dark situations for a longer exposure. And if you're going to be using this in daylight all the time then this is a great budget option!

@Julius_S 4 месяца назад

I think you would find that many of us doing architectural imagery for work prefer 35mm and 50mm over ultra wide, even 85mm and longer for exteriors, and shift still helps at these focal lengths. There is of course a need for very wide (and expensive) shift lenses due to frequently-encountered interior space constraints, but if we could photograph through walls and use a longer focal length, many would in most circumstances. We frequently move furniture away from walls just to get a tripod further back and use longer focal lengths.

@ddxfs 4 месяца назад

do you use the 50mm canon shift much? I ordered the 24 tse ii but want the 50 as well, but the price is crazy and lack of availability... I dont see many architectural photogs talking about it

Awesome review. Would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the TTArtisan 50mm f1.4 tilt lens.

@parranoic 4 месяца назад

If they made a wider version I would buy it

@Folly_Inds 4 месяца назад

I'm not sure if I think 50mm is a little tight for a tilt shift or not. I think I'd want something a little wider for say like architectural photography or something. Then again for that price It's definitely allowed to be a fun lens rather than a practical one

@johannguasch754 4 месяца назад

There are a number of uses for a normal FL tilt shift. Like managing reflections, product photos, are a few things i’d mention. I use the 45 pce alot for my work.

@m3ducraft 4 месяца назад

What is the difference between this one and the TTArtisan one? Which one do you recoment, from what I have seen The TTArtisan sounds a little better.

@harukinzaphod 4 месяца назад

This is an f/2.8 lens. Because you need a big chunk of glass for a shift lens they thought, let's put in big aperture. I think if you consider this an f/2.8 that works best at f/5.6 you have a bargain lens. As a shift lens, it is far too long. I use a 28mm f/3.5 shift lens that's probably 40 years old. I love it. Now if 7Artisans bought out a 24mm f/2 or f/2.8 full-frame lens, I would be interested.

2:02 If you tilt a lot, close and far areas are in focus while the the area in between is out of focus.

@fandyus4125 4 месяца назад

With such a huge image circle, could this be adapted to medium format? The effective properties of the lens would be insane then. Around 40mm f/1.1 on Fuji GFX.

@seth094978 4 месяца назад

Yeah, but would you want to use it on GFX much more open than about f/2.8 ?

@fandyus4125 4 месяца назад

@@seth094978 It seemed sharp enough so long as you don't blow up the images to wall sized proportions. So yes.

@selkiemaine 4 месяца назад

Got to be better than the TTArtisan 50mm Tilt f/1.4 - that is shockingly soft below about f/8. I love tilt for art shots - and this should do very well for me. Thank you for the review.

@nicedward7544 4 месяца назад

Korn and Fantasia right next to each other lol. Looks like my eclectic music collection. Looks like a great lens for the price but i wouldn't use it below 2.8

@shang-hsienyang1284 4 месяца назад

Tilt functions were enjoyable back in the day. Nowadays I'd rather focus bracket and decide my plane of focus in focus bracketing software. The shifting function is quite useful for full-body portraits, especially if the subjects want to look taller than they actually are. I have the heavy and bulky Canon 50mm f/2.8 T/S. However, after inspecting the image quality compared to the 7Artisan, there's really no point using it unless you're shooting macro. The 7Artisan at f/2.8 is around the same sharpness as the Canon.

@budthecyborg4575 4 месяца назад

The fringing and minimum focus image quality is a bit disappointing but I've been trying to just get my hands on a TS lens since forever, they just about never come in stock, so I will definitely get this one just for the sake of having the capability.

@urbanie 4 месяца назад

i think generally the quality on tilt shift lenses isnt as good compared to top of the line lenses without perspective & focus control. my samyang tilt shift is quite soft and has terrible flaring, ive also heard canons 24mm TS v1 also produced softer images. its probably because TS lenses have lots of elements inside, but i dont find it that big of a deal because i use them for architecture

@Skipsul 4 месяца назад

Fotodiox makes an OKish TS adaptor series that lets you adapt medium format lenses to FF or APSC. I have a Pentax 45-85 645 zoom that I have adapted successfully. I got the lens for $200 and it is plenty sharp w/o vignetting. Total outlay with adapter is $500 ish. I use this in commercial product photography and it works well enough. The adapter has some weaknesses, but it can get the job done.

@quite1enough 4 месяца назад

Oh I really like Tchaikovsky and especially Mussorgsky too!

@pizzablender 4 месяца назад

It could be interesting to adapt to a medium format camera. Seems that the image circle is quite large.

@-szega 4 месяца назад

Not sure I see much of a point with sticking a standard 50/1.4 double gauss on a tilt/shift mount. It's way too tight for architecture and especially interiors, but too short and - as expected from the optical scheme - performs badly with close focus (what little it has), so not an option for product photography. If it had good coma correction (but it doesn't, because no asphere) wide open it might be a one trick pony for some weird astro landscapes but that gets old, fast.

How would this look on a crop medium format sensor, such as the Hasselblad x2D?

@cameraprepper7938 4 месяца назад

No, it is an APSC Lens, because the the Lens has to have a bigger circle then the diagonal of the sensor to give the best result when full tilted/shifted ! Tilt/shift Lenses always have a bigger circle than other Lenses.

@vitaminb4869 4 месяца назад

And he shifted it all the way and it still produced a full image circle.

@artmaltman 4 месяца назад

Hi Christopher. How do you do manual focus on mirrorless cameras. Do you use the focus peaking system? Magnification? What about portraits where the human being is fairly still but not perfectly still. Thank you. Art

@Nolr 4 месяца назад

Focus peaking is awesome with tilt lenses, as you see clearly your plane of focus shifting from left to right (or whatever the orientation is). It is leaps better than on DSLR when you had to manually zoom in to various parts of the image or do savant angle calculations to roughly guess where is was.
