The tilt is really interesting, my pentax K1 has the ability to shift the sensor to have a shift function on any lens. Never thought to use it in macro photos. Thanks for the eye opener

So it seems the shift function is a pixel shift which allows higher resolution images (usually 4x). While this is different from a shifting lens, you can replicate the effect. Take a high resolution pixel shift photo with a wide angle lens and then crop in yo where you want your "shift" to have occurred. That's all shifting is really, a moving crop done in camera. Tilt requires additional hardware to do however.
@ronbokje6213 Жыл бұрын
@@TT3Dxyz I can tilt and shift the sensor, not for pixelshift (it has it and yes you can higher resolution) you can turn it also left and right by 8 degrees. It also has a auto level system to keep horizon straight automatic
@TT3Dxyz Жыл бұрын
@@ronbokje6213 ah, I see. So you can shift and rotate for composition adjustments a decent bit. The "tilting" is a bit misleading though as it rotates the sensor while the focus plane remains the same. I was hoping it was going to be view camera type tilt as I would have got one just for that

Thank you. Did not know much about these lenses and combos. I have old Sony camera and plan upgrading to A7. Have used extension rings and/or Tamron 90mm/f2.8 for occasional macros. Also have tried to reverse 50mm, just as experiment. Haven't yet fully figured out how to get old Sony HVL56 flash working as wireless flash with A7. There are several options like Godox sender/receivers, using some mini-flash (Meike?) for triggering external flash etc. Also need something for geotagging, old A55 had built-in GPS (crappy but still). PS. Gimball link did not lead to correct item.

I just bought my first macro lens a week ago, and am having an absolute blast. I can't but recommend my setup (for Canon at least). It's a blisteringly sharp SIGMA 105mm 1:1 magnification ratio, which takes awesome pictures in of itself (great for bees and similary sized little workers), and to get in really clore I use a raynox dcr 250 on it, with which i can take usable shots of fruit flies.

Look for underlay poly foam for floors. It's the best type I could find so far, quite cheap in big quantity. :) There are multiple thicknesses available. I only have the thinner type which is ideal with two layers, I think the thick should work well by itself. Just get a roll at local store, 2-3mm thick should work well :)
