Mirrorless has made using a tilt-shift lens easier

One of the significant improvements that I have had from mirrorless is the hit rate when using a tilt-shift lens for portraits. The availability of focus peaking and focus guides helps me know where the focus is, which I often found a challenge with a TS-E on a DSLR.

Thanks Trevor, it does help achieve a good result when the subject is rather fabulous

Beautiful portrait Brian! I loved doing those tilt effects on portraits with a 4x5 back in the day!

Tech question: When using the EF-mount TS lenses (especially the 24mm if you happen to know) on Canon mirrorless (R5 camera in my case) via the EF to RF lens adapter is there any added cut off or fall off when tilting and especially shifting? This query is more related to architecture photography. Thanks! Scott

 

There shouldn’t be any change for mirrorless. The lens on the adapter is the same distance from the sensor as it would be for DSLR, so the cutoff should be the same.
