I don’t get why they don’t just make these in a generic mount (T-mount or similar). I buy one, and for $10, adapt it to any camera. They only need to make and distribute one variant. It’s all manual, so you lose nothing.
NEX 7 update info please, for saying it’s going to be announced so soon there has been little to no information leaked.
I’ve had the Samyang version for a few weeks now and it is a hoot to use on the A99.
These type of lenses were very technical to use for film, still tricky without liveview, but a breeze now!
I do a good deal of architectural work and it is heaven sent. I’m not sure I could justify the price for the occasional interesting effect, but it came along at just the right time for me, so the ‘fun factor’ is a real bonus!
Add to that it is a good, solid and well put together lens, I have no complaints.
The one point I would make is that I read the tabs for releasing the rotations are plastic; they’re most certainly not. Small, perhaps, but made of strong metal so I can’t imagine they will ever break.
hi aardvark7
i am just about to buy that lens for my a99 and a77 for specifically architectural photography. can you say anything about the image quality and sharpness performance on this lens?
reviews have pointed out that the front element will shift on its own weight when shift lock is released, can you confirm that? I really want / need a tilt shift but i am no way switching to can ikon.. i love sony’s live view, evf and all bells and whistles..
cheers
The price is right for this t/s lens, but unfortunately it hasn’t been getting good reviews. I hope some SAR reader will really put it through its paces and post a review.
Humm, 4% back would be nice on the A99 Grip/flash bundle, but I can’t seem to find the bundle with the rebate – anyone else look and find it?
