Having worked for the last three years using this combo, I have observed two limitations that I wish could be fixed.įirst, and not related to the tilt shift lens, the virtual horizon feature of the Sony A7R and A7R2 cameras is not precise enough. I have also tried the 2x extender to have a 35mm FOV but the loss of quality was more pronounced. I'm using successfully a Canon Extender EF 1.4X III and the image quality is great - there is just a very slight loss of sharpness but nothing that Lightroom can't save later. To make the camera setup even more "impressive", it is also possible to use a Extender between the lens and the adapter to have an equivalent 24mm field of view. The "tilt" feature of the lens, which allowsa greater control of the focus plane also work great on a Sony Camera - but I don't use it in my work, I have yet to master how to use it correctly. The version IV of the adapter from Metabones is recommended as the version 3 had some internal reflection issue. It's possible to use the standard metering options of the camera but I usually shoot manual. On a recent trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands, I had the opportunity to test the 17mm TS-E on a Sony A7R2.Īs the lens is manual, there are no AF compatibility issue. I have been using a Canon 17mm TS-E tilt shift lens for the last 3 years on a Sony A7R, through a Metabones Adapter (Version IV). Look it up if you want to know how these works, it's well documented. These type of lens allow users to capture a tall building while keeping its line straight. This includes the use of the speciality lens for serious architecture work : tilt -shift lenses made by Canon or Nikon (Sony doesn't make these kind of lens). Sony mirrorless cameras have a fairly unique feature : through the use of adapters, they can work with pretty much any type of lens from Canon, Nikon, Leica etc.
