Yenemy, to see the rear part of the Pentax shift lens take a look at this link http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/p...-focusing.html. It might give you an idea about how can you do it. I think that the Takumar 35 f3.5 has a rear element that it might work but I am not sure about that.

In the really old days,
 you could always tilt base board under the enlarger in the darkroom to correct verticals. I'm lucky enough to own a Pentax 28mm f3.5 Shift lens and have done so for many years and it's still favourite lens for me.But remember, that now many corrections can now be carried out in software such as CS3 using the transform tool and the like. I'm sure it's available in all the other brands of software too. Just be careful not to overdo it, a slight lean looks more natural than perfect parallels.

You can do everything a shift lens does in software, but you still need the actual tilt lens for its effects.

I think a wide T-S lens would be ideal, but after trying the Hartblei 65mm super-rotator I have to say it's fun nonetheless. Just need to find the right scene for the different perspective. Some of my recent shots is shown here. So far I've been toying with the "miniature effect", have to spend some time to understand how to properly align the DoF as it is intended.  The tutorial links will be helpful. Thanks.

Oh, you have some nice images too
 I really like the palm tree. I wanted a Hartblei as well but couldn´t afford one. The design of the Photex lens isn´t suitable for cameras with built-in flash like k10d as you can´t rotate the lens freely. It´s impossible to tilt upwards and rotate when you take photos in landscape format.I wish I could try more miniatures but I have hard to find places where I can get high enough like bridges and towers. |
