With a street price of about $629 / £689 (sometimes varying, depending on the mount), the Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC is one of the most affordable tilt-shift lenses available. The Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC (right) is a larger prospect than the Laowa 15mm F4.5 Zero-D Shift lens. Meanwhile the PC-E Micro 85mm f/2.8D is ideal for portraits and product shots, but it doesn’t come cheap. It has a closest focusing distance of 25.3cm which delivers the maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2, or half-size, making it useful for product and still-life photography. If you want a tilt-shift lens with a ‘normal’ field of view, there’s the PC-E Micro 45mm f/2.8D ED. However being an E-type lens, it lacks a mechanical aperture ring. It’s the only Nikon PC-E lens that has a dual rotation mechanism to enable the axis of the tilt function to be altered relative to the shift on a shot-by-shot basis. Nikon’s PC-E 19mm f/4E ED is useful for photographing very tall buildings or tight spaces indoors. Helpfully, it comes supplied with a lens hood and has a thread for 77mm filters.

It can tilt by up to +/-8.5° and shift by 11.5mm, plus there’s up to +/-90° rotation available, allowing the correction of converging verticals with either portrait or landscape format images.

In principle, they can also be used on the firm’s Z-mount mirrorless cameras via the FTZ mount adapter.Īgain, the 24mm focal length of the Nikon PC-E 24mm F3.5D ED makes it an appealing option for architectural photography. In any cases, however you find the lenses, they all have the Nikon F mount and cover a full-frame sensor. Due to Nikon’s slow but relentless culling of all things DSLR, the lenses are getting harder to find, and you may have to rely on the second-hand market to find one.

The Nikon PC-E Micro-NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED Tilt-Shift lens. You can see an example of the effect of this below. Shift: Shifting the lens upwards allows the camera back to be kept upright when shooting architecture, to eliminate converging verticals (buildings appearing smaller the further away they are). Alternatively it can provide a ‘fake miniature’ effect. Tilt: Tilting the lens can be used to extend the depth of field without having to stop down the aperture, letting you use faster shutter speeds, and avoid diffraction. Below, we’ve quickly defined the key terms you’ll encounter when shopping for a good tilt-shift lens.įocal length: 24mm wideangle lenses tend to be ideal for architectural exteriors, while wider optics are great for interiors. When choosing a tilt-shift lens, there are a number of key criteria to take into account.

To learn more about how these lenses work, check our our tutorial on how to straighten up your shots with tilt-shift photography, and for more lens options, see our guides to the best Canon EF-mount lenses and the best Nikon F-mount lenses. Remember that plenty of tilt-shift lenses can be used on mirrorless camera via an appropriate adapter. We’ve detailed all the major manufacturers’ offerings below. Fujifilm has also promised some tilt-shift lenses for its GFX medium format cameras, though we’re yet to see these appear.

Most tilt-shift lenses are made by Canon and Nikon for their respective EF-mount and F-mount DSLRs, but more recently there have been some interesting tilt-shift lenses released by Venus Optics under the Laowa brand, as well as Rokinon/Samyang. They also have a reputation for being expensive, though as we’ll see, there are some comparatively affordable options available.

Tilt-shift lenses can be quite ponderous things, requiring some manual fiddling before you can take the shot.

By physically moving part of the lens, you can radically extend the depth of field in an image to get much more in focus, or eliminate converging verticals to render tall buildings as accurately as possible. In this guide, we run through the options for all systems.Įssentially, what a tilt-shift lens does is allow you to take control of the perspective and plane of focus in an image. Colors can be adjusted manually through color filters.The best tilt-shift lenses help you shoot distortion-free architecture shots, or create a powerful miniaturising effect. The effect is visualized immediately as a live preview. Tilt-Shift Camera implements a real high-quality Tilt-Shift / Toy / Miniature / Diorama filter with varying kernel size. Different focus area types (linear / round) Color adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation, colorization, etc.)
