I have never heard or seen of tilted camera lenses before but apparently it's not new to the photography world. I'm not quite sure what the point of these tilted camera lens are for but when I did some research about tilt photography.. it stated that tilt photography is a way to capture photos into miniature sizes aka "selective focus".
To get an idea on how these lens work you can check out this link: http://lensbaby.com/optics-edge80-simulator.php It's a simulator that gives you a sense of what the lens can do. When I tested the lens out, you can tilt the camera in eight different angles; each angle gives you a different type of photo so it's like you're buying one lens that can take the same photo in eight different ways depending how you tilt your camera. It's pretty cool plus you get more different photos of the same 'photo' if you change the aperture/focus too!
How much are the lens?
$300 with double glass optic
$400 with sweet 35 optic
Compatiable with Canon EOS, Nikon F, Sony Alpha A, Pentak, Samsung GX, Sigma, Olympus.
Would you buy tilted lens? I think the lens are pretty cool. It's like eight lens in one, I can see these lens come in handy when taking pictures.
