That's about it, unless you get a medium-format press camera with movements like a Linhof Super 23 Technika, Fuji 680, or Baby Graphic. Frankly, I think you'll get better results from the newer Canon TSE lenses on 24x36 format. If you adapt all those to a Pentax 645 (easy), then you could have 45mm tilt-shift (if you can find one), 55mm shift, 65mm tilt-shift (also scarce these days), and 75mm shift. They also put the Mir-38 65mm lens into a super rotator mount, but that lens is also not that great.Īrsenal also made an Arsat 55mm PCS (shift only) f/4.5 lens, which is excellent indeed-at least as good and perhaps better than the Pentax 75mm shift lens. It can be used with adapters on Mamiya and Pentax 645 cameras, or in its native mount on Kiev 60, Pentacon Six, and Exakta 66 cameras. It's limited by coverage, and the performance of that lens is not stellar. Hartblei modified an Arsenal (Kiev) Arsat/Mir 26 45mm f/3.5 lens with their "super rotator" tilt-shift barrel. Is my expectation of gaining some speed realistic? Are there other 6x7 cameras with tilt/shift options I'm not aware of? No need to shut and cock the shutter before shooting.įrom what I can tell my only option is an RZ67 due to the tilt-shift requirement. No need to pull dark slides (or forget to). No need to swap shutter cables between lenses. I figure I can pick up a bunch of speed here. I typically don't use movements with tele lenses. Really all I need is a WA tilt shift and a standard shift. At least a couple of tilt shift options. Specifically, I think that if I can find a camera with the following I'd like to try it: Also, I'd be fine with maxing out print sizes around 30x24", and thankfully my drum scanning bill would go down. While I mess around with B/W sometimes, I'm really a color photographer, so I can live with the loss of individual sheet development control. I'm thinking it may be possible to speed up the process by going to a MF SLR style camera. There are times when I'll miss a shot because by the time I'm ready to expose the lighting has changed. One major shortcoming I run into is the length of time it takes to setup a shot. Shortly after that I tried 4x5 and have been with it since.
#Vintage 65mm tiltshift lens hartblei full#
After being bummed out on the lack of resolution on larger prints and not being able to create the near/far tilt shots I'd seen over the years I switched to a Canon full frame body to use their tilt shift lenses. However, there are some shortcomings I'd like to solve if possible and am wondering if a 6x7 SLR is the answer. I've been shooting 4x5 for a couple of years now, and for the most part enjoy it.
