Tilt Shift Lenses | How do they work and do we care?

- In this video, Jeff describes the Scheimpflug Principle, how tilt-shift lenses work, his experience using the Canon 24mm, 90mm and 135mm TS lenses - and how they are employed by specialists like product, architectural and landscape photographers.
Canon lenses are used in this video - but the concepts apply across all perspective control lenses of any type or brand. It will be worth keeping an eye on any new TS lenses coming down the pipe as well...

At last, someone who knows what he is talking about and has a deep sense of teaching! Although I knew it, it had never been explained so clearly! Thank you very much!
Thank you Jules! I appreciate it!
I bought the 90mm tse used after seen your video.. a few month later ended up buying the tse 50mm too.. they are incredible usefull for product photography.
I have used a Nikon 24 PC-E on my D810 for years, and it is exceptional. Sadly, all to many people now expect to get out of their cars, walk a step or two, point their mobile 'phone and take breathtaking pictures. These slow you down, consider the view point and perspective, focus and tweak and take one or two pics and not dozens of never-looked-at snaps. Thank you for an excellent video.
I am glad I found your great teaching video tutorial here! As the others have already commented, I agree with them, that you have made one of the most sensible and clear explanations of the Scheimpflug Principle. I have three of the TS-E lenses but my TS-E 17mm ƒ/4L unfortunately is now in two pieces after a fall with the camera and tripod on the blank sea ice one winter. I am most satisfied with the 24mm II and the 90mm. Now you have given much more motivation to use them more frequently and more creatively with swing as you nicely gave fine examples of in your well done YT-video! Highly appreciated! Greetings from Sweden! 💯👍👌
You are most welcome! Stay safe on the ice! 😄
Pretty deep points you got there
Thanks for pondering the points! And thanks for watching!
Great work... You've just earned yourself a Sub...👌
Thanks Matt The King!
Tremendous video! Thank you for the simple straight forward explanation. Very easy to understand.
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it informative!
SCHEIMPFLUG!!! 😂😂😂
I’ve been exclaiming that for a straight week to the annoyance of everyone and everything around me (dogs included)
Shooting for over 20 years now and just started to get into TS lenses. Thanks for making this as comprehensive as possible. 🙏 Great channel, btw. Sub+
Thank you Daniel - appreciated! Scheimpflug!!! 😂
These four of these lenses I use exclusively for my professional automotive journalism... excellent video content, could not have described these lenses better!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I own the 24mm canon, nice lens, I need to use it, it's only been mounted three times soooo it's pretty much brand new, but 8 yrs old... thanks for this video
The 24mm is one of my favorite lenses. I’ve shot a lot of architecture with it. I would even use it with the teleextender to get a ~35mm TSE. Good stuff! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video! Very thorough and really well done!
Thanks for checking it out Julia!
Must have misheard the 90 mm comment. Thought you had a second tse video… good news is there are copies of the 90 in stock in Canadian retailers as of June 2023
Thanks for the video.
I use the limited shift feature of my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my full-frame cameras to control perspective.
When I need to control the depth-of-field by using the Scheimpflug principle to alter the plane of focus, I use a Nikon to Fuji tilt adapter to mount my Nikkor 28mm f/4 PC lens on an APS-C Fuji X body. This adapter adds a tilt feature to a lens that has a shift feature. The only disadvantage to this method is that the 28mm wide-angle lens now performs like a normal lens.
If the front shift/tilt movements of my Nikon 28mm f/4 PC lens mounted on my Fuji X body with a tilt adapter does not meet my needs, I use the front and rear shift/tilt features of my 4x5 inch monorail view camera.
Does your 4x5 have a digital back? Check out the Cambo Actus series - pretty cool. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!

No digital back; thanks for the recommendation.
Have a 45 tse that shares the workload equally with a 100 macro.
Have been toying with getting a 90 tse as the best of both worlds. I’m sad to hear your news
Excellent video, thanks. Will go find your offering on the 90 …. Even if I can’ t buy one.
Thanks for watching!
Adapting these to Sony E is the best 😁
Cool! I’ve also heard they are great on the Fuji cameras too.
I would keep those lens because you can adapt them to any other camera system. Sure the RF version might be sharper but I think its over kill.
We shall see! Thanks for watching!
I am waiting on the RF 24mm tilt shift one to come out helps a lot when shooting the giant sequoias, did the photoshop thing but sometimes it gets wonky and you can tell it isn't right because of the moss or tree bark.
For sure - using shift to stitch images is a great use! I love sequoias. Excited to see what the RF versions will be like. Thanks for watching!
I've seen examples DXO ViewPoint is the best software for fixing lines. Not saying its as good as a tilt shift lens but its better then other software.
Cool!
Sheimpflug 😊
Looks like BSU Gym
Cool!
