Schneider 28mm Tilt Shift

[Omni Images]

Just stumbled across this today, they say "new release" ... I found it looking at a guy's landscapes shots taken in the past month or so, and he listed using that lens ... I thought What tha ? ... I didn't know they made a tilt shift for 35mm cameras .. I had seen the new 90mm T/S for medium format, and have my eye on that .. only around US$3.2K ... but the 28mm for 35mm cameras is around US$8.3K Ouch .... would go well with the 5Ds I'd expect.

That the collar has an ARCA-Swiss foot and holds the objective end still while the camera moves is a plus.

Having said that there had better be some stellar press (notably absent for their 50 PC-TS) to justify that sort of money.

The Schneider PC TS is an absolute dog. Its got to be the worst lens for the money ($3500) on the market.

The 28mm PC angulon is a shift only lens ($3,500), the new lens is a PC TS angulon ($8,300) with both tilt and shift? I'm not sure those dogs are equal. For the huge price jump I would expect a similar jump in optical performance. Either way, the build quality on the new blue Schneider lenses is on another level. I like that they use adjustment rings instead of fiddly knobs, but I'll take the Canon's optics any day. For my uses the TS-E 24mm is ideal.

At that price, you'd be well advised to read Lloyd Chambers' review. He was singularly unimpressed. To quote him "By any metric this performance disappoints." Full disclosure - you will need a subscription. The review is in the DAP section.

If you're interested in alternative TS lenses, take a look at the Hartblei SuperRotator range. I have one of these and it's superb.

don´t suck at Schneider-Kreuznach
I love them - since their "super angulon XL 90mm"....

really? the Lloyd Chambers' review says that the performance of the new PC-ts 28mm disappoints???
(Ive no subscription)

i was said that the PC-TS50mm is not just that superb,
but the PC-TS90 macro is really an excellent lens.

I thought/was convinced that this lens(the NEW PC-TS28) will definitely outshine
the outstanding CANON TS-e24mmII....
but Im sorry that it is 28mm and not 24mm....
so I will stick with my "cheap" canon TSe24mmII


Hartblei has no wide angle lens!
---> you can´t compare a 40mm (hartblei, which has btw very bad test results!!)
with an 28mm?!
