Woo hoo - I was actually really excited when I found out about this lens. Native tilt lens for Sony. 50mm. f/1.4! What to need more! In this video I take you with me on a shoot in Amsterdam, where I do my best to explain how to use Tilt lens for creative portraits. Shot on Sony A7IV and TTartisan Tilt 50mm f/1.4.

Been looking for a good video on tilt portraits, you explained it really well 👍🏻

[photojoseph]

Very nice. I’m working on a video on this lens and really appreciate your portraiture approach. I’ll be sending folks to watch yours!

[iRasmus]

Great work creating very good informative sample images/examples! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing!

Oh I just love the look of Tilt Shift Portraits.. The pictures you showed at the beginning are just amazing! Not to mention the shot with the birds in the background.. mind blowing!

I use my Nikkor TS 45 for a couple weeks now and still have to learn to create portraits like these. But it is worth it :)

Thanks for the video and your inspiration :)

Excellent work! Thank you for inspiring me to keep working with this lens, instead of giving up on it because I couldn't find good compositions/tilt angles. Were you shooting wide open for most of these street shots?

[MrChrissk]

I use a couple of lensbaby lenses that do a similar thing, the SOL45 that gives a sweet spot in the middle area depending where you tilt, and the edge 50mm that gives a slice of focus. Depending on how you tilt or F stop changes the effect.

I got a tilt adapter for vintage lenses and now I do tilt with any of those lenses 😁

[mhs]

Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend it for product photography?

[munkmegtube]

Got it today and I broke the knob. Will exchange it tomorrow. Do you have any problems with the knob ( big one )

[davidbigephotography]

Awesome! Bought it right away - thanks for sharing. I have been waiting for a new Sigma 50 1.4 or 1.2 DG DN but it's just not happening. This is a good reason to grab a 50 for now. Used your link to get you a coffee on me. Cheers
