TTArtisan 100mm F/2.8 Macro Tilt-Shift Overview

The TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 Macro provides up to 2x macro coverage for full-frame sensor, it has a manual focus design to suits its macro capabilities, which permit working with subjects as close as 2:1 with a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8)" .
The tilt-shift lens affords +/- 6mm of shift and +/- 8° of tilt, and both types of movements can be applied independently. The tilt-locking mechanism ensures the lens stays in place while shooting. Additionally, the tilt and shift functions can be rotated +/- 90° for applying the movements in distinct directions.
This lens has an optical design of 14 Elements in 10 Groups that with 6 high refractive index glass elements help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
The f/2.8 aperture is designed to suit work in low lighting conditions, 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.

2X Magnification

Capture the intricate beauty of small subject.

Cold Shoe Mount Bracket

Attach the cold shoe mount bracket to the 4 screw holes on the front of the lens and the cold shoe mounts can attach external devices such as LED lights.

Note: Only one cold shoe bracket is included in the package box. LED lights are not included.

Smooth Bokeh

The 100mm f2.8 features 12-blade circular apertures that produces nearly circular bokeh, which is smooth and natural.

Minimum Focus Distance

The minimum focus distance is 0.25m. This lens allows you to get exceptionally close to the subject, while keeping sharp image quality.

Tilt Shift, Give some fun results

Featuring tilt, shift and rotation capabilities

Tilt

The tilt angle can be adjusted 8°, with the following main features：

1.Change the Plane of Focus

When you use a normal lens, the focal plane is parallel to the sensor, and the depth of field can be increased by narrowing the aperture so that more of the subject is in focus. But by tilting the lens allows the plane of focus not to be parallel to the sensor, it changes the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.

2.Selective Focus

The Tilt function can be used to control the orientation of the focal plane, and thus the part of an image that appears sharp.

Shift

The lens can be shifted by ±6mm, with the following main features：

1.Correct Perspective

The Shift function can be used to correct perspective distortion in architectural photography, product photography and other creative photography.

2.Avoid Movie Mistakes

The specular reflection will make the camera visible. If you want to make the camera invisible, the normal lens can only be done by changing the shooting position. However, in the case where the shooting position cannot be changed, using a Tilt-shift lens can solve this problem.

Tilt/Shift Vignetting

By tilting or shifting, it is normal that there will be vignetting on one side.          The degree of vignetting depends on the different magnifications (No vignetting when used on X-mount and M43-mount cameras)

GFX-mount Vignetting

After using the Tilt or Shift, it is normal that there will be vignetting on one side.
