TTArtisan 50mm f1.4 Tilt for MFT

What is "Tilt?"

With an ordinary lens, the area in focus is always parallel to the sensor plane. If, for example, you want to take a sharp picture of everything at a distance of 5 meters, this area is focused and then stopped down until the depth of field is suitable.
With a tilt lens (tilt = to tilt or swivel), you can also focus on a single strip in the image while the rest of the image remains out of focus. The optical axis is simply bent. This allows the focal plane to be positioned freely. For example, the following motif can be realized with the tilt function even with an open aperture: A house facade that runs at an angle in the picture and is still in focus from front to back.

Two lenses for the price of one!

With a tilt angle of 0 degrees, this is a conventional 50 mm lens, for example for portraits. The optical performance is also optimally utilized. This is because in the 'normal' state, only the central part of the large image circle is used. When using the tilt function, there are no limits to your own creativity in image composition.

The large aperture of f/1.4 allows a low ISO value even in low light. The soft bokeh, together with the tilt function, creates the unmistakable miniature effect.

The tilt mechanism (8 degrees) works to the left and right. The angle of this 'tilt plane' can be rotated from 0 to 90 degrees (a mark is drawn every 15 degrees). The tilt and rotation function can be locked with a separate screw.

The TTArtisan 50 mm f/1.4 Tilt has an optical design of 7 elements in 6 groups. This includes 2 elements with a high refractive index.

The focus and aperture are set manually.
