R TILTSHIFT TRIAL
I used a lot of trial and error to arrive at the bike tube which provides the perfect balance of structure with flexibility. Eyeball the aperture blades so the lens appears to be set around f/2.8 or other desired aperture. You should be able to adjust the aperture by simply using a pen tip even after the sticky tac is applied and also after the lens is complete. Push the aperture lever close to being wide open and stuff a wide of sticky tac in there. This way you can adjust the aperture even after the lens is assembled. The benefit of using sticky tac is that it is strong enough to hold the aperture that you set but malleable enough to be adjust simply using a pen tip. You can use any brand of sticky tac to set the aperture. I have found that wide open produces a depth of field too narrow to use effectively when combined with the angled focal plane it produces. I have played around a bit and prefer to set this lens somewhere around approximately f/2.8. Nikon lenses default to the narrowest aperture while Canon lenses default to wide open. If you do have a different camera make you will just need the correct macro mount ring for your camera.ĭisassemble the lens starting at the rear mount and then remove the barrel. You can use the same Nikon lens for Canon or any other make camera since the lens will be decoupled and you will need to manually focus and expose anyway. If you use a Canon lens you will be stuck permanently wide open. I use a Nikon 50mm 1.8D because it is inexpensive ($70 used on eBay) and because you can set the aperture by affixing the aperture unlike the Canon 50mm which lack an aperture lever.
R TILTSHIFT HOW TO
This guide will outline how to create a sealed freelens or faux tilt-shift for awesome image making for less than $80. The lens has a steep learning curve and is pretty tricky to get the hang of, but offers the ability to adjust the focal plane much quicker and more precisely than with a tilt-shift lens. I created a sealed freelens or faux tilt-shift, but with way more flexibility than a tilt-shift lens. I decided to deconstruct a Nikon 50mm lens for freelensing, but also wanted to eliminate the possibility of light leaks and make it much easier to store and protect the lens while also protecting the camera internals from dust and debris. Since it is difficult to work around the fixed flange distance of your camera body it is desirable to deconstruct a lens to allow the rear lens element to move closer to the sensor and allow more movement and rotation. This technique has been around for ages but helps achieve a similar look to that created by a tilt-shift lens used often in wedding photography.įreelensing a stock lens has big limitations. Freelensing is a great method of isolating your subject or creating interest in an otherwise flat or busy scene.
R TILTSHIFT MANUAL
Freelensing is the use of a lens decoupled from your camera manual orienting the lens on various angles to tilt and shift the lens to alter the focal plane.
