Oh I just love the look of Tilt Shift Portraits.. The pictures you showed at the beginning are just amazing! Not to mention the shot with the birds in the background.. mind blowing! I use my Nikkor TS 45 for a couple weeks now and still have to learn to create portraits like these. But it is worth it :) Thanks for the video and your inspiration :)
Excellent work! Thank you for inspiring me to keep working with this lens, instead of giving up on it because I couldn't find good compositions/tilt angles. Were you shooting wide open for most of these street shots?
I use a couple of lensbaby lenses that do a similar thing, the SOL45 that gives a sweet spot in the middle area depending where you tilt, and the edge 50mm that gives a slice of focus. Depending on how you tilt or F stop changes the effect.
Thanks for this video Magic! I’ve been looking for an affordable way to try a tilt shift lens, and this looks like the one - even with its flaws. Looking forward to the video about how you use tilt shift lenses 🙌
Awesome! Bought it right away - thanks for sharing. I have been waiting for a new Sigma 50 1.4 or 1.2 DG DN but it's just not happening. This is a good reason to grab a 50 for now. Used your link to get you a coffee on me. Cheers
Hey, thank you for the very comprehensive explanation. Could you please tell how did u edit that black and white photo.? I love it, I haven't figured out bnw editing with Sony yet.
May I ask a question? First off, this is a fantastic video...since you approach your analysis of this lens from a perspective of creating serious images, versus treating this a tilt lens as just a "novelty". Q: In large format (4x5) photography, I'm accustomed to lens/ focal plane tilt as a means of ensuring near foreground features (e.g., boulders, trees, grasses, etc.) are in focus...while also ensuring distant features (e.g., mountain top, etc.) are also in focus. Does this type of tilt lens facilitate that same goal? (I will watch this video again to better understand the images you presented.) :)
Mając Tiltshifta często używałeś funkcji shifta czy raczej wyłącznie tilta? I nie jest jedynym. Jest jeszcze Samyang Tilt/Shift 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Właśnie sam zastanawiam się pomiędzy tymi dwoma szkłami i skłaniam się do 50mm - jakoś 24mm wydaje mi się za szerokie ale może się mylę....
Very affordable lens and interesting effect. Love the colors from presets. But won’t be buying one, tilt effect doesn’t appeal to me. Thanks for explanation though.
Such images look very unnatural, when only half of the bacground is blurry. Weird. When you look at such pictures it seems like something is wrong. They create an uneasy feeling.

Thanks Kevin! I’ve been shooting 45mm Tilt on Canon since 2012! The Nikon one is great, you’re gonna have fun with it!
Very nice. I’m working on a video on this lens and really appreciate your portraiture approach. I’ll be sending folks to watch yours!
Yes, finally, I've been waiting for this video for some time. Thanks Magic😃
Perfect :D Hope you enjoyed it!!
Great video explaining this kind of lens, and some nice shots as well, thanks!!
Thank you for a great video explaining this lens. Really great explanation!
Great video! Looking forward to the wedding tilt/shift.

Nice review with nice clear examples, thanks!
I think I'm going to get the lens too. :)

Thanks for the video ❤ ! Great explanation 🙏
I got a tilt adapter for vintage lenses and now I do tilt with any of those lenses 😁
What kind of adapter did you get?
such a great review and wonderful pictures!
I really like this lens..thanks for sharing your thoughts on it
i can't stop staring at that 8mm 👋 haha
Grrat video. How did you link to record your live view from the sony? Please a how to vid.
have you tried the tt artisan 100mm tilt shift, very close to purchasing for Sony a7r5
It is magical.
Thanks for this video Magic! I’ve been looking for an affordable way to try a tilt shift lens, and this looks like the one - even with its flaws. Looking forward to the video about how you use tilt shift lenses 🙌
Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend it for product photography?

Ah thanks so much! I hope you'll enjoy it! It's definitely a fun 50/1.4 to have!
Which presets are you using?
:o I was convinced that tilt-shift lenses are for architecture photography only, you opened my eyes :o
You can do all the fun stuff with these lenses :D
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer photogs do miniature renditions with the tilt lenses. Pretty sweet
Got it today and I broke the knob. Will exchange it tomorrow. Do you have any problems with the knob ( big one )
So you layer 3 shots into a single picture? Because you are using 3 you can keep each in focus? How did you do it with moving subjects?
No it's all single pictures. It's tilt of the lens that creates layers

Your wife should always be layer no.1 for you😂
Whahahahahah joker and now again back to the revieuw😅
You made my buy one for my Z9! I see that the lens is very soft at F1.4. I assume you shot all the images in this video, stopping down? Maybe F2.8?
Nope all 1.4

Hey thanks! That’s correct - indeed you can achieve this effect with this lens!
Have you used in any filters on this lens?
Hey, nope - no filters!

could you please tell me if you know this lens works on the Sony ZV E10?
it will, but it will give a you a cropped field of view - it will make it from 50mm to around 75mm
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer thank you c:
Has anyone actually bought the lens already....would love to hear some real world feedback on it.. Great video I'm definitely considering this TS now.
Patrzę a tu swój 😁😁
Swój swój!

Very affordable lens and interesting effect. Love the colors from presets. But won’t be buying one, tilt effect doesn’t appeal to me. Thanks for explanation though.
and here i thought tilt-shifts are mainly used for architecture
This lens is only tilt, not shift as I understand.
Correct!
What kind od MAGIC is this?! 😅
It's a kind of MAGIC!
;D
No Magic! Just optical physics - firstly described by Scheimpflug 1855!
That lens only tilts. It does not shift.
I like you and your misses wear caps..... :)
No it's not magic, it's physics :))

I am a idiot…I watched the video and still don’t understand how it works.
