TTArtisan introduced Tilt 50mm F1.4 lens for Sony E and L-mount

TTArtisan has announced a new Tilt 50mm F1.4 full-frame lens for Sony E and L-mount mounts, which has an 8° tilt angle. In the tilt lens, the real world is transformed into a miniature landscape.

When taking pictures, we often encounter the need to only make some areas clear and other areas blurred. But using a tilt-shift lens can meet this need without changing the aperture, and making photos more artistic.

For professional video shooting, the lens has been specially optimized-the focus ring, and the aperture ring is designed to fit most focus followers by the cine lens. The large-aperture lens brings valuable light in decreasing ISO for a more transparent image.

This manual lens has 7 elements in 6 groups and a 12-blade aperture. The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m, and the field of view is 45°. With dimensions of Ø70 x 68 mm, the lens weighs 452 g.

The TTArtisan Tilt 50mm F1.4 lens is available from the Amazon.com website for $229.
