TTArtisan has recently introduced a new tilt-shift lens for architectural photography: the TTArtisan Tilt 35mm F1.4. In addition to enabling you to create shots with an unusual perspective, it also functions as a regular 35mm F1.4 lens. Furthermore, the new lens is designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Canon RF. Micro Four Thirds mount cameras are also supported.
Of course, the special feature of the new TTArtisan Tilt 35mm F1.4 lens is the tilt mechanism itself. It allows the front lens group to be tilted up to 8° to the left or right, allowing control over the direction of the focusing plane.
But that’s not all. In addition, the 360° rotation mechanism works in conjunction with the tilt mechanism, allowing the focus to rotate a full 360 degrees. Moreover, the rotation mechanism is marked in 15-degree increments with stops.
Optically, the lens consists of 9 elements arranged in 7 groups. It also has a 10-blade diaphragm. The viewing angle is 45 degrees. Moreover, the new TTArtisan Tilt 35mm F1.4 supports manual control only, as it does not feature autofocus.
The lens weighs 350 grams. The diameter for installing filters is 52 mm. Aperture range: F/1.4-F/16.
TTArtisan Tilt 35mm F1.4 Price and Availability
Currently, the TTArtisan Tilt 35mm F1.4 APS-C lens is available exclusively in black. Moreover, it is priced at $169 on Amazon.com and £189 on Amazon.co.uk.
Last year, Shenzhen Mingjiang Optical Technology introduced the TTArtisan Tilt-shift 100mm F2.8 Macro 2x lens at competitive pricing. The optical design includes 14 elements in 10 groups, including six high-index elements, and the lens offers 2x magnification. It lets you capture fine details, from insects’ textures to plants’ intricate structures.
