homemade tilt/shift lens (more or less)

2011-04-09 Thread Krisjanis Linkevics
Looked at lensbaby prices, checked the market for K-mount tilt/shift lenses and 
cooked up my own for a fraction of the cost. I am fully aware that I could get 
more movements with a bigger MF lens and 50mm might seem an odd choice but here 
it is:

The Kreativ-NIKKOR 50mm/1.4 CVA TS
http://foto.ri-ki.lv/categories.php?cat_id=6

CVA stands for continuously variable aperture not only because it is stepless 
but also because it is way too easy to accidentally change it at the moment :)

I can get infinity focus with small movements (both tilt and shift), adequate 
movements at portrait distances and very nice closeup capability.

Basically I wanted something lightweight of portraity length with decent 
low-light and wide-open performance that could be adapted without much hassle.

I have lots of spam messages about a medicine that will fix that right up.

You must be joking!
Seriously though - just put it together so have to wait for the morning - no 
sunshine in Europe yet.
