Gevorg ("George") assembles these in batches from available lens stocks (they are 6x6 medium format lenses, mainly from ex-Arsenal production), so they are not always available in every focal length. Well, the 80mm (the "kit" lens of the Kiev-60) is almost always around, but the 35mm's have been out for a while now, but good to see them back!
BTW, I have the 80mm version (bought here on the marketplace), and it's a fairly good lens, and easy to use... except that the shift and tilt are perpendicular to each other. The whole lensmount is rotatable, so you can tilt
or shift in almost any direction you'd like, but you cannot tilt
and shift in the same direction. I know this is how Canon T/S lenses come from the factory, but they can be unscrewed and repositioned so the two axes are aligned. The Arax cannot.
Originally posted by JinDesu Not bad, $670 for a 35mm F2.8 tilt shift lens in PL mount. Definitely bookmarking them.
They make an
Arri mount for them? I didn't know that was an option...
