bobodude Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, has anyone experience with using tilt shift lenses for video, not for the miniature look, but for perspective control, (straight lines in buildings, ...) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I use my Canon 24 3.5 L TS-E ii on an A7 and now A7s for stills and video. Video is for live bands to get all the band in shot. I like to use just a little bit of shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkor Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If you are looking for the lens, the canon 24 ts-e ii is the best one, there is no way around it (the samyang would be the cheap option). For 45mm the nikon seems to be better, but at that focal length you can use shift adapters and medium format lenses which is way cheaper and which opens up a whole new world of cheap great optics. There is also the canon ts-e 17mm which is pretty amazing if you think of it (rectilinear, 17mm, big image circle...).If you want it to shoot people, a simple camera pan/tilt with a normal lens is better as it doesn't give them strange deformations.

The Chris Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The FD 35 T/S is a better option than the ok-but-not-great Samyang IMO, though you can't tilt and shift at the same time. I picked one up for $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobodude Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 thanks, for all the info !i've looking at tilt shift adapter for a while, and found some interesting options,this one looks pretty cool, but is the most expensive, anyone have any experience with it ?http://www.cambo.com/Html/products_p...roup34297.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The cambo setup is great for stiching and tecnical lens setups (photography), but it's expensive and bulky. A mirex tilt and shift adapter should be cheaper http://www.mirex-adapter.de/tilt_shift_adapter.htm and portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
