Schneider PC TS Tilt-Shift Lenses
Schneider optics are among the finest in the world. Manufactured in Germany and usable with both full-frame and APS-C format DSLRs. The new PC-TS lens
 (PC= perspective contral; TS=tilt & shift ) allows both a parallel shift to reduce or even completely eliminate converging lines or perspective distortion ("keystone correction ") and a swinging or tilting of the lens according to Scheimpflug's rule in order to better utilize depth of field (DOF) without an increase in diffraction from further stopping down the aperture and reducting sharpness. Parallel shift and lens swing or tilt can be carried out independently of one another in any desired direction ( vertically, horizontally or obliquely ) thanks to separate rotary mounts.
The middle normal lens in Schneider’s tilt-shift lineup is the Schneider 50mm f/2.8 PC TS Super-Angulon, which is available in dedicated lens mounts for Canon and Nikon, DSLRs and film SLRs. Along with 12mm of shift range and 8° of tilt range, the Schneider 50mm f/2.8 PC TS features a built-in rotating tripod collar that allows for better balance and reduced strain on the camera’s tripod socket (This puppy weights over three pounds, or about the same weight as a 70 to 200mm f/2.8 zoom lens). The Schneider 50mm f/2.8 PC TS also features engraved scales for all adjustments as well as click-stop detents for every 30° of lens-barrel rotation.
The short-telephoto member of Schneider’s tilt-shift lens collection is the Schneider 90mm f/4.5 PC TS Super-Angulon, which like Schneider’s 50mm PC TS, features a built-in tripod collar, 12mm of shift range and 8° of tilt range, engraved scales for all adjustments and click-stop detents for every 30° of lens barrel rotation. Schneider’s 90mm f/4.5 PC TS Super-Angulon is available in Canon and Nikon lens mounts, and like it’s short-telephoto counterparts from Nikon and Canon, can also be used creatively for portrait applications.
