Hello all,

Just in case you are interested in using tilt lenses like me, I have just added an article to my site looking at how tilt can be used to spice up your photography and how it's so utterly useful for macro photography.

I continue to be amazed by the Zork MFS (multi focus system) and as spring nears here in the UK I will be using it much more. Its a really killer bit of kit that doesnt get spoken about too much on forums, so I thought I would write an article about it.

Many thanks

David

an excellent article David. I have always been slightly confused about tilt lenses and had never really considered their use in macro photography. It would be very interesting to use this lens alongside my MP-E 65 - the idea of getting the plane of focus on an insect at high magnification, without having to have the sensor parallel to the insect, is very appealing.

T&S can give some wonderfully intriguing effects - especially when including things in the scene that we have a sense of size of - the world can be made to seem very 'Lilliputian'. Although not nature-related, the following vimeo's are worth browsing for a few ideas - someone to do something similar on Safari perhaps! Keith Loutit T&S videos
