Instant credibility by mentioning the Scheimfplug principle. I’ve watched a dozen or so videos on tilt-shift lenses and this is the first I’ve seen to mention it.
Hi Michael, this video is highly educational. You explained so good that nobody would need to see it twice. I have one question which is a little out of this conversation. I want to know if using the camera extended battery pack helps in improving the focussing speed of the larger telephoto lenses? Will be waiting to hear from you. Thank you!
A very nice demo of tilt/shift lenses and good explanation. A minor correction in terminology, you are NOT bending the plane of focus, you are pivoting the plane of focus. The plane of focus remains a straight plane, just pivoted on it's axis; bending the plane would result in massive distortion like a "fun house" mirror.
The 3 shots is a Vertical Panorama. I have done this using a basic 18-50mm lens on a Nikon D200, years ago. I have it printed at approx 1/2 full size and the result is a 6ft x 1ft mounted vertical panorama of a tree in in a gully. No-one can ever get that shot, as the tree was washed away in annual flooding. Am interested in the tilt shift lens, but think it more for the focus/out of focus possibilities. Great talk though, thanks 👍
Amazing video and explanation. I only have the Canon 24mm TS-E f3.5L (hopefully I can upgrade to the Mark II this year since it's a lot better when it comes to distortion and it's also sharper). I am also thinking about getting the 45mm since it's a pretty affordable TS lens nowadays.
This is not as simple as it sounds. Tilt Shift Lenses need to have very large image circles and an adapter would have to have some thickness to it, and this would act like an extension tube and cause the loss of distant focusing.
It *can* work if the flange distance of the camera is shorter than the lens' native mount, as in mirrorless... but then you'd need to use an aps-c camera in order to have a large enough image circle... but I doubt Canon would see much of a market for a tilt-shift adapter for EF lenses to EF-M.
1. Tilting the lens bends nothing. 2. Large format cameras are in production today, both by new start-ups and premium companies such as Arca Swiss, Cambo and Linhof. Linhof in fact produce no fewer than five different 4x5 cameras. You are mouthing off with misinformation. 👎
Thanks for your Video, BUT sorry Sir, your statement "it´s difficult, even I don´t understand it" (Scheimpflug) is barely acceptable. Don´t make it more difficult than it is: 1. The object plane, the lens plane and the film plane intersect in ONE intersection line. 2. The lens equation still applies: 1/object distance PLUS 1/film distance EQUAL focal length. Further: the object plane is not bent, it is rotated around the intersection line (s.o.).

Great demonstration of the Tilt Shift lens!👍

This was excellent! I ordered one today and by watching this i learned some proper techniques on the use of something unique
Since I bought my 24mm TS my photography changed...I'm a real estate photographer and helps me alot for detailed shots.Very nice video.Thank you

Great and easy explanation. Thank You a lot.
Our pleasure Jaroslaw. Thanks for letting us know. Best regards, Peter Michael, Managing Director - michaels
Thanks for the ideas. I have the Canon 45mm TS and love to video, so I'll give this a try.
Thanks Marty, we're very pleased that you picked up some ideas from our talk. Best regards, Peter Michael, Managing Director - michaels

Thanks a lot John, was the best explanation I ever seen and heard about this difficult topic, congratulations!
Great explanations for this type of lens!
Thank uuu very much , i like ur passion about photography... and it is very informative video too

Thanks a lot !
thank you so much John!!!
Our pleasure Tim. Warm regards, Peter Michael
great job
very helpful thanking you for sharing
The first live-view in a DSLR was in 2000 - the Olympus E-10.
This is magic!

I don't get it, sorry. Maybe some diagrams and more examples would help? Sorry for being dumb.
Canon should make tilt-shift adapters for their L lenses. Greedy bastards.

Didn't understand a word.
Lot of technical explanations nothing practical.
