Anyone have one or played around with one?

If you shoot buildings you need one
If you shoot housing interiors for real estate you need one
If you shoot Macro it will help alot
came close to pulling the trigger on a used one but i had never heard of tilt shift so i did a buncha research and found its one hell of a tool went back to buy it and it was gone

if you can give this tilt/shift effect on computer why would you wanna spend extra money for this lens?

Kinda my thoughts too, but then I remembered I know jack about Photography

the tilt shift effect PP gives it that OOOH its a model look
TS in pro photography gives buildings a vertical stance instead of that leaning back look

TS in Macro Photography
(Taken from Tilt-shift bellows )

Above is an example of macro photography without tilting, at a reproduction ratio around 1:1. The depth of field is limited by the lens aperture (f/4). An El-Nikkor 75mm f/4 was used.




n appropriate amount of tilt increases the apparent depth of field without requiring the diaphragm to be closed past f/4. Strictly speaking, the true depth of field remains the same at a given aperture, but tilting the lens effectively tilts the focus plane to make it conform to the subject.

So again I re-iterate the question cuz I don't quite yet understand, why buy the lens if the same result can be achieved with post processing?

The shift effect can be duplicated but it affects your resolution. The tilt effect is either impossible to duplicate or difficult to duplicate depending on which way you're going.
