Tilt Shift Lens Not Just For Architecture Photos

I want to try to explore and prove that the tilt-shift is not just for architectural photos just using a large format camera but a 35mm SLR or DSLR users can also use it for images other than photos of architecture. Possible for professional photographers already using the camera view to foto2 their product is not new anymore, but the camera view once its use is very limited (ie in the studio only). they do not mind carrying a camera view for the photo session at the site. And limited funds that made me choose a lens which I will use in this article.


Lens with tilt-shift capability is required by professional photographers because these lenses can correct the perspective of the analog. That is the perspective through the lens rather than the software adjustments. Although increasingly sophisticated software2 have to control perspective, but all that is done without losing pixels. So the ability to control the shooting perspectives can improve the quality of our workflow.

Shift of the lens in use to control perspektive of photographs, while the ability to tilt to control the sharpness of space. Because the lens I use is not wide angle so it's useless to give examples of the ability of her shift, so I'm just giving an example for tilt capabilities of this lens.

If the axis of the object and the camera axis parallel to the focus the focus is so narrow (Scheimpflug principle). To widen its focus one of the axes of space object or the camera must be modified. Axis of the object may not be modified (because of the composition) so well that the camera axis modified by changing the lens axis so separalel possible with the axis object (eg image A and B).

Almost all the big brands make these special lenses. But if you look at the price to make ordinary users so back off. For example, lens Nikon 85 mm f/2.8 PC Micro-Nikkor, or a Canon 90mm TSE price last I checked around U.S. $ 1600, roughly about 15 millions of reply in Indonesia. If the former may still be above 10 millions. To our pocket that only advanced amateurs spend tens of millions of money for a tool that is used only occasionally very heavy.

So I want to try a tool that can be used by 35mm or digital cameras, lightweight, compact, fairly affordable, high quality lenses, strong (professional grade) and most importantly has a tilt-shift capability. I need a tilt-shift to be able to adjust the sharpness and perspectif space. And the winner is

HARTBLEI 80mm Super-Rotator Tilt Shift Lens MC TS-PC 80mm f/2.8, The Monster

After months of research I discovered that my lens above the mean; HARTBLEI 80mm Super-Rotator Tilt Shift Lens MC TS-PC 80mm f/2.8.

Hartblei may not be brand new in the world of photography. They are the makers kiev camera system. The camera is quite well known in earlier times might prominence 70s. Even though they still membuaat with medium format cameras, but overshadowed by merek2 cameras now like Mamiya, CONTAX, Hassie etc
