Tilt-shift lenses are often quite expensive. Last month, 7Artisans announced an affordable 50mm f/1.4 Tilt-shift. The first hands-on experiences with this lens are now appearing online. It looks like a fun lens for anyone who wants to try tilt-shift without spending too much.

As you can see in the review above, the lens's shift function isn't very useful because of its 45mm focal length, but the tilt function works well. It is also a fast lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4.

The 7Artisans lens is available with a mount for Sony E, for both full-frame and APS-C, Fuji X and Micro four-thirds. You can get it for less than 210 euros from the 7Artisans online shop itself.

With the rise of more affordable options like this, we can expect tilt-shift photography to reach a wider audience and for more photographers to benefit from the unique effects these lenses can offer!

As long as it only comes with 1 mount, it's not that interesting.
And 50 mm on a DX format isn't exactly great either.
But indeed affordable.
