I'm thinking of the new Schneider T/S Super-Angulon 50/2.8 in Sony A mount.Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with, comparisons of, or recommendations for tilt/shift lenses suitible for the A99? The rest of my alpha glass is Zeiss, so are there high quality options?
Thanks for any insight,
Jeff
Delayed to March. But interesting nevertheless.The Samyang 24mm shift lens is supposed to be released in January so I'm waiting to see the reviews before I buy it for my A900
Yeah, I forgot about the whole "E" thing with so many lenses now. The A mount isn't as numerous as CaNikon ... yet. So the choices are less. But it is getting a lot better than it was.EOS lenses and the new E PC-Nikkors can not be adapted easily (though in principle it is possible but would cost more than the lenses themselves) because of the E in them. Both have electronic apertures and require their system cameras to operate/set the apertures.
If you are really in to T/S work, then Canon or Nikon are the best. Easier to switch the system than looking at unsatisfactory lens availability.
The Schneider lenses that Marc points out are also available in EOS and F mount as well in addition to the corresponding system lenses.
I'd have to agree as regards build quality. I have a mirex as well for sale NEX/M43 camera mount with nikon lens mount. I also have a Rokinon 14mm and 21mm Distagon for the mirex. However, the arsat adapter is in one respect much better than the mirex. The rotating adjustment for the tilt is much better than the pure friction of the mirex.Based on my personal experience with the Arsat tilt adapter, i will have to say, it is a toss up. The quality is very poor compared to Nikon or Canon T/S line up or the Mirex T/S adapter.
