Lens Daddy for Leica M

BEPhoto, tilts are used to adjust the focus plane to an object plane that is not perpendicular to the focal plane. Think of objects on a table for product photo. Properly adjusted tilt, rather than tilting the camera, will extend the depth of field over the objects. The technique works best with view cameras that also have tilting backs.

I think one point is that I feel you can get more tilt with the Kippon adapter than the 8º I can get with the Hartblei. Also, I could not justify the purchase of the Zeiss lensed Super Rotator, so the one I have is based on an old Kiev 80mm MF lens and its performance is barely adequate. I would guess the potential results from a Zeiss Hasselblad lens are much better.

not worth it spending $6K on a used 40mm IF just because you wanna do tilt on a leica :eek: my hassys are paid more than 50 times their value during years

 

well Hartblei is the same glass as Hasselblad, they are actually the same lenses on a different mount

 

there is a another great option which is New Schneider PC lenses I'm really considering getting a 90mm Makro-Symmar and 28mm Super-Angulon

There are two ranges of Hartblei lenses. One using Kiev lenses Hartblei Super-Rotator Tilt Shift Professional Lenses & Adapter Rings and a much more expensive range made in a different factory using optics made by Zeiss HCam & Hartblei - Photography Pro Gear .
