    How do the tilt shift results look different from a picture taken a large distance away from the subject, but at a large aperture (f1.8)?

    I was going to say (rather snidely) that the reason you buy an expensive tilt-shift lens is for architectural photography, i.e., to keep parallel lines from converging (so the building looks "right"), not for a dumb Lilliputian gimmick as proposed by this article.


    Then I went to the Dvice link and looked at the dozens of sample shots. Uh...stunning.


    I think I'll just shut up.

    Does the lens actually reduce the depth of field, or does it just blur the top and bottom of the frame?
     Reply

    @jetRink: It is not just blurring the top/bottom (which is why after-the-fact Photoshop blurring looks fake), nor is it reducing the depth of field (which cannot be done after-the-fact). It is actually shifting the focal plane to a different angle/direction.


    Normally the focal plane is exactly parallel to the camera's film/sensor plane. These lenses purposely alter that relationship, tilting the focal plane out of parallel. So it is not reducing the depth of field--that is a constant--but it is changing where the depth of field lies in space, placing it in a different plane. So instead of having depth of field from "front to back", you might now have depth of field from "top to bottom" or some other variation. HTH.

    Slap this bad boy on your video camera and get some crazy shots...anyone shot any video with this yet? I'd love to see what happens when you pull focus, dolly-zoom, etc.

    Mistyped, of course you can't dolly zoom with a prime lens.

    No, but the filmmaker in me says you still get points for knowing the phrase "pull focus". Not quite ready to hire you as my next DP, but do keep your resume handy...

    Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true when the post said "diving", but sadly the mfr. spec is as you say:


    Water Proof 3.0m ( IEC60529 IPX8 compliant )


    That's snorkeling. And crap snorkeling at that.

    Did they get rid of the Leica lens? Last time I saw this reviewed, it was featuring a leica lens, which did increase my interest in it.

    I think the little L in the lower right corner is a leica logo. If not, I'll be pissed because I already pre-ordered one of these.

    @SuprXY: It was there in the previous review as well, but it said Leica under the viewfinder and also mentioned it in review. This is missing in both counts here.

    @BeerManMike: Color on waterproof items should be expected, as you will probably be using them outside, and helps find them.

    Hence the charcoal option, which I would go for as well for general use.

    Agreed, I'd want an even brighter orange or a yellow for diving, etc.

    Pardon me, my fellow Gizmodians, for I rarely double-quip on a story. However, this time I feel I must, with apologies for not coming up with this (slightly better) comment first.

    "...or anywhere else in my pants.
    Well, you could if you'd just take out that damned roll of socks.
