p.7 #2Alternative Tilt & Shift Thread
Shneider Componon-S 135/5.6 with Nikon PB-4 on a 5d2. All shot at 5.6 with quite a bit of tilt, often around the max 25 degrees of the PB-4. These are all hand held so no point looking at 100% crops. Lens is quite sharp wide open, not stunning. Amazing image circle.

25 degrees is way more tilt than needed if going for max DOF in those shots.

Thanks for resurrecting this post! I'm really enjoying all the great work on display here . It's also because I'm trying to convince myself that I need a 24mm TS-E II

Yeah baby can you say divorce!

Close range requires quite a bit of tilt. It's a different story when you are focused further away where a few degrees will give you all the shift in focus plane that you need for focus from here to eternity.

I should add, the PB-4 is NOT the ideal tool for carefully adjusting the right amount of tilt as it only has a single plane of tilt (left-right or horizontal). If you want vertical tilt then you have to rotate the camera 90 degrees on the rear of the PB-4 and also the PB-4 or the tripod head itself. Setting intermediate angles would be a pain in the butt so I wouldn't even bother in most cases. The Mirex kills the PB-4 for functionality and adjustability but they are different in many respects too so it's not really fair to compare them.

This is a pano shot with the C/Y Zeiss PC_Distagon 35/2.8 adaptes to my 5D Mark II. It is already cropped to some degree. But as you may notice from the corners the pictures are not aligned. The left images are higher than the right ones as my adapter does not mount the lens upside so that the top is not topside. It is some degrees tilted. Thus the lens doesn't move perfectly horizontally when shifted horizontally. Are there any experiences with different adapters to EOS?

Got another alt tilt&shift. Mamiya 35 N with Mirex. Same garden, one or two weeks later.

http://www.lubig-raumdesign.de/pano/GartenZentral_FM.jpg


It's f5.6, pano of nine shift images, cropped the central part (it would have been sufficient two shoot four 45° shift shots, like before with the Zeiss). Zeiss might have been f4. Both are tack sharp. I keep the Mirex/Mamiya combo, Zeiss will be on sale!

Color difference may be due to the pp. Mamiya pictures look very natural, so I nearly don't tune them.

Enjoy

Stefan

This is Big Sur, California, which is replete with redwoods.
I used a Mirex with the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9C, on a 5DII. I wish there was a way to not have the bokeh not become whorled as it does, but optically I think it probably has little choice? In some other shots, it definitely bends back on itself, which becomes a bit "stitched-looking".

Effectively just a simple product shot. Shot with Schneider Componon-S 135/5.6 at 5.6 (mid 80's vintage), Nikon PB-4 Bellows, 5d2, with considerable tilt. The Schneider turns out to be an excellent lens for this kind of caper.
