VINTAGE 65MM TILTSHIFT LENS HARTBLEI SIMULATOR

Shift is often used to correct the vertical lines in building and other tall objects, making them seem to stand tall rather than lean backwards.

Here is a link to a tilt simulator created by Lensbaby, which allows you to see the different effects you can achieve by using different apertures and tilting a lens in different directions. Although the instrument and the clock are, note that the edges of this frame (which could be cropped for a final version) are clearly off the focal plane and out of focus. By tilting the lens slightly to the right instead, I’ve changed the focal plane and extended the DOF, as in the right image, also shot at f2.8. The left image shot at f/2.8 shows a thin slice that’s in focus (tilted slightly down). Product and landscape photographers often use tilt-shift lenses to extend the depth of field of an image, an effect which is often impossible to do without a tilt lens (although focus stacking now gives us a cumbersome way to achieve a similar effect).

By tilting the plane of focus, you can also effectively extend the depth of field, a technique often seen with landscape or product photography to create a deep, in-focus image. It can be particularly powerful with portraits to focus attention on certain parts of an image. In my opinion, tilt is best used to create selective focus images. However, it is a mistake to think that 'miniaturization' is all you can do with tilt. By doing this, you can effectively create a small slice of in-focus area in an image that makes a landscape look like a model landscape, for example. By applying some measure of tilt, you can change the plane of focus. Why tilt shift? Many times you see tilt used for what I’d consider novelty 'miniaturization' shots. Here’s some information for those of you wishing to delve into the world of tilt-shift photography. There are plenty of T/S lenses that fit your Alpha or NEX cameras. If there’s one significant weakness in the Sony/Minolta lens lineup, in my opinion it’s the lack of tilt-shift (T/S) lenses. The Wikimedia images may not have been taken with Sony/Minolta cameras.
