The 50mm Tilt lens not only looks extraordinary, it is also extraordinary. Available as a set including the AstrHori 85mm lens.
The mount of this fast 50mm lens is spherical and so the lens can be tilted in all directions by up to 15 degrees. This mechanism can be locked with a locking ring. In the normal setting without tilting, the lens is a fast universal normal lens. For tilting, the lens can be swiveled by up to ±15 degrees in all directions
, which opens up new creative possibilities. (It should be noted, however, that slight vignetting can occur in the corners of full-frame sensors when tilting). Tilting allows the focal plane to be tilted. Sharp subjects can therefore be captured from front to back, even at full aperture. For example, a fence or a house photographed at an angle will be completely in focus, while everything to the side will disappear into a blur
. Tilting produces a kind of "Alice in Wonderland" effect at close range. Small figures, model cars and miniature landscapes appear really large when the focal plane is tilted. The optical construction of 7 elements in 6 groups ensures outstanding optical quality, while the aperture with its 12 blades, which can be continuously adjusted from f/2.8 to f/16, provides a wonderful circular bokeh
. The lens has a diameter of 50mm, a length of 75mm and weighs 339 grams. A 46mm filter thread allows the use of standard screw-in filters. The distance and aperture are set manually.
As a pure macro lens, this lens is suitable for full-frame cameras. With the minimum distance of 11cm from the front lens to the subject (or the closest focusing distance of 25cm), this results in a reproduction scale of 1:1, making it ideal for taking pictures of small animals, plants, jewelry, etc.
The lens can be tilted by up to ±8 degrees and rotated 360 degrees for tilting. Tilting the focal plane opens up new creative possibilities. (It should be noted, however, that the sensor format is limited to APS-C when tilting). The tilt effect produces a kind of "Alice in Wonderland" effect when shooting in the miniature world. Small figures, model cars and miniature landscapes appear really large when the focal plane is tilted. However, the tilt effect is not only interesting in the macro range. Tilting allows the sharpness of subjects shot at an angle to be maintained from front to back, even at full aperture. For example, a fence or a house, shot at an angle, is completely in focus, while everything to the side disappears into a blur
. As an 85mm lens with an angle of view of 28.2 degrees, it is of course also an ideal portrait lens with good focus control thanks to the high speed of f2.8. The optical construction of 11 elements in 8 groups, including two ED elements to prevent chromatic aberration, ensures the highest optical quality. The aperture with its 12 blades, which can be adjusted from f/2.8 to f/16, ensures a wonderful circular bokeh
. The lens has a diameter of 63mm, a length of 110mm and weighs 720 grams. A 55mm filter thread allows the use of standard screw-in filters. The distance and aperture are set manually.
