Arax MC 35mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift

Canon 45mm TS lens is an excellent design lens introduced to the market in 1991. . Excellent lens for my purposes. I was in the market for a used standard focal length lens with tilt and shift functions. The lens is super clean. I’ve kept it on the camera since my purchase.

Excellent Perspective-Correction A tilt-shift lens brings back the experience of using a view camera to correct keystoning and other optical problems. One can also use a tilt-shift to create selective focus areas for creative effect. Manual focus allows greater control of precise focus.

Expected result not achieved Visually, the lens is good, but optically not. The photo taken with the lens has no contrast. The image is smoky. For pictorialism, photography is OK, but for classic photography it is not acceptable. The lens has been taken to a service center. I am waiting for the result of the solution of the problem. The sharpness is not so best. There are green aberrations. There is also focusing free movement, which is acceptable for a used lens. But it can be classified as a MINT lens.
