Tilt-shift 'toy effect'

[Jesse]

How much easier is it to create the 'toy effect' with a longer tilt shift lens? Anyone have any examples?

Dunno, but the LensBaby does a great job at it

Lensbaby Composer Pro with the Edge 80 optic does a great job on FF.

I've only used one focal length, so I can't give a comparison. I believe the difference between 17mm and 45mm (for example) in DOF will be dramatic, just like it would be if you compared non-TS versions of these lenses.

That being said, your subject matter might dictate the focal length you use anyway. I took this with a 35mm TS on a full-frame camera:



I couldn't have backed up any more in the spot I was standing, and I wished for a 24mm TS instead. 45mm would not have worked and 90mm was out of the question.
