![]() ![]() The wide angle shot used a 12mm lens and I would have cropped less with a 14mm or 18mm. So yes, it is no doubt easier to avoid the faff of a tilt-shift but it comes at a big pixel loss cost. All this cropping means the wide angle version is just 30% the size of the TS version. And then to go square I lose lots from either side. To get the same amount of sky and keep the verticals from converging meant I had a lot of uninteresting water at the bottom of the frame and so it lost 1000 pixels vertically, almost 1/3rd of the original shot. But by chance it allowed a pretty similar crop with almost the same amount of sky as the tilt-shift version. Uncropped it is 4896 by 3264 pixels, so about half the file size of the uncropped pano. I also took a shot using the Samyang 12mm but in landscape mode (not processed for colour at all): The full merged pano is 4923 by 6054 pixels and I've cropped into this leaving 4354 by 4354. ![]() This shot is a square crop from a three-shot vertical pano using the 24mm TS, very similar to the one I posted above, but this time the camera shake/poor focus/operator error is smaller: This is probably not the best or clearest answer but here is my take. A tripod collar on the lens would have been nice (not that there is any obvious space for one). This lens is going to look pretty big on the front of a little Fuji, especially my XE1 that I use if travelling. Again, Just something to get used to I hope.ģ. The big main elements mean this lens is front heavy so release the locking wheel and the front is likely to tilt or shift down fully unless you pay attention. Having a locking wheel and a separate adjustment wheel is annoying, but as you have to take your time using tilt-shifts this isn't a biggie either. The knobs to control tilt and shift are pretty small - another thing often pointed out on-line - but I think I can put up with that. 82mm filter size means I'll need a whole new set of filters.Ģ. All I can say is that I am glad it is more plastic than metal as it is a big old beast compared with the FD version. I read some reviews on-line that mentioned the plasticky-feel. Once my adapter arrives I'll test out the two side by side and report back.įor now, some first impressions of the Samyang:ġ. After searching for a while I picked up a Samyang 24mm tilt-shift in Canon fitting. I've been using a Canon FD 35mm tilt-shift lens on my Fuji XT1 for a while with good results but I wanted something a bit wider. ![]()
