TTArtisan unveiled the new TTArtisan 17mm f/4 ASPH tilt-shift lens. The TTArtisan Tilt-Shift 17mm f/4 ASPH is a manual focus wide-angle lens for full-frame sensors that features a tilt-shift mechanism that allows you to adjust the focus range and perspective. By tilting the focal plane, you can focus on a wide area of a subject with depth, or you can narrow the area in focus to create unique, miniature-style photos and videos.
The lens’s shift mechanism minimizes perspective and keeps buildings horizontal and vertical for natural compositions, making it ideal for panoramic and architectural photography. Its large 64mm diameter image circle is compatible with 35mm full-frame sensors as well as 44x33mm medium-format sensors. The optical design, which includes two large ASPH aspherical lenses, effectively suppresses distortion, chromatic aberration, and color bleeding, resulting in clear, high-definition images.
Tilt mechanism
The tilt mechanism allows the lens to be tilted up to 8° to the left and right. This allows you to intentionally shift the optical axis and freely control the range of focus. You can focus from the foreground to the background without making the depth of field excessively deep, and create miniature-style special effects. This greatly expands the range of expression depending on the shape and position of the subject.
Shift mechanism
By utilizing the shift function, perspective can be reduced and buildings can be kept horizontal and vertical for accurate composition. This supports the creation of natural, balanced images in panoramic and architectural photography, contributing to the creation of high-quality works.
360° rotation mechanism
Equipped with a 360° rotation mechanism, combined with a tilt-shift mechanism, it allows for flexible adjustment of the composition and focal plane depending on the subject and shooting scene. In addition, click stops are provided every 15° of rotation, allowing for smooth and reliable adjustment of the rotation angle. This increases the freedom of focus expression, whether in photography or video.
*The Fujifilm GFX G mount does not have a rotation mechanism.
High-definition image quality and beautiful light beam expression
The optical design, which includes two large ASPH aspherical lenses, effectively suppresses distortion, chromatic aberration, and color bleeding, achieving clear, high-definition images.The 10 aperture blades create 10 beautiful rays of light when stopped down, allowing for impressive lighting effects in night scenes and backlit scenes.
Image circle compatible with medium format sensor cameras
With a large image circle of 64mm in diameter, it is compatible with not only 35mm full-frame sensors but also 44x33mm medium-format sensor cameras.
Telescope barrel design
The durable metal lens barrel is equipped with a click-type aperture ring, providing intuitive and comfortable operation.
