NEX-7 with Contax Zeiss Tilt Adapter

sony nex-7 contax zeiss lens tilt adapter

Here are a few shots from the Sony NEX-7 and a tilt lens adapter with a Contax Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Distagon. The 28mm lens provides an effective focal length of 42mm, very close to the human eye's fov.

The tilt adapter provides fun images, we posted about the tilt adapter in August 2010. It's great on the NEX system with focus peaking as you can see focus band as you "tilt" the lens. We have not shot much using tilt and were wondering if it can make it in our travel bag where space and weight is a premium. Do you have any tips for new users of tilt lenses?

  2. My tip regarding the Kipon C/Y Tilt adapter is: if you expect to be able to use the adapter as non tilted as well, don't bother. The adapter is at least two millimeters too thin so you will only be able to focus a few meters away and closer. A big design flaw imho. And the locking mechanism for locking the desired amount of tilt is needs too much force to engage. Pretty sure this will ruin the lens mount of your camera eventually.
