![]() ![]() With lens shift, you have the same focal length needs you always do. I think Fotodiox and Fotga make tilt-shift adapters for some lens series (but not FD), but again I haven't checked it out carefully. You should be able to do the same thing with other lenses such as Nikon and Hexanon, but I haven't checked out the availability of shift adaptors. ![]() You can probably get 21mm and 24mm FD lenses although they will be more expensive. The FD lenses are handy because the aperture is easily controlled. Whereas the28mm used to be wide angle and and the 50mm standard on 35mm film, now they will be standard and moderate telephoto respectively on an M43 sensor. If I have reasoned correctly, then a really good lens to get for a shift function is a full frame lens - the image circle diameter will be at least twice the diagonal of the M43 sensor.įotodiox make an Canon FD to M43 shift adapter, and Canon FD lenses can be had for cheap, for example the FD 28mm or 35mm or 50mm lenses. It doesn't have much to do with the focal length, it dpends on what sensor size the lens was designed and optimized for.Īs you shift the lens, you are also shifting the image circle - if the image circle is only big enough to cover the M43 sensor, then you will start to get vignetting and blurring on the side away from the shift, as shift increases. If I understand the optics of shift correctly, in order to make shift possible, the lens needs to have an image circle noticeably bigger than your sensor. Because this is a micro 4/3, I realize I need to use a wide lens - how wide should the lens be?- 18mm? 21mm?. ![]() I just bought an Olympus OMD EM10 -& I'm thinking of getting a tilt shift adapter. ![]()
