[0.32 lb] This is my favorite lens for interior photography, whether I'm shooting expansive or closet-size spaces. The price is steep, but it's an investment with high yields. Using this lens cuts down on constantly having to adjust the height of the tripod. With my tripod fully extended to 72 inches I can include soaring ceilings as well as the floor. In kitchens, I can have the tripod high enough so you can't see under the unfinished underside of cabinets, yet still show lower cabinets, ovens, flooring. After using it for two years, I had it serviced, and while it was gone I realized how much I missed it. I used my 16-35, a frustrating experience that worked, but to get verticals vertical, I had way too much ceiling, so I ended up shooting almost everything at 16mm and cropping the ceiling and sides down in post to retain aspect ratio, adding unnecessary time to my workflow. I am so happy I spent the money, the results are fabulous, not only in workflow, but in beautiful photos.

[0.32 lb] Using this filter holder on large format 8x10 camera lenses that have 105mm and 120mm Filter threads. It's well made and thin enough to clear wide angles.

[0.32 lb] My biggest concern with this lens was sharpness. I've been using the original 24mm TS and sharpness falls off considerably on about 10% of the image near the left & right sides of the frame. The 17mm was very sharp throughout! One thing to be careful about however, is the infinity stop. The focus of infinity is well before the hard stop. If you go past it your image will not be sharp. I recommend you use the camera's focus indicator's in the viewfinder, with the audible signal on to confirm your focus point. My other concern was possible lens flare, based on the reviews of other users. I didn't find this to be a problem, unless you're practically shooting into the sun. You won't need any fancy box shades with this lens. Under the few circumstances where a light source was striking the lens a handheld mat board worked fine. Finally, regarding chromatic aberrations, they are minimal with this lens.

[0.32 lb] These two photos was taken in one frame shot - not in five frames then stitch later. It was taken around 5:30PM in Long Island NY. I am challenging myself into taking my photographs AS IS, without heavy editing in the end of the shot (only touched contrast, exposure and thats it). This lens performs well for me, and in the long run this lens will save me a lot of time editing for i can correct distortions in the field immediately. I heard there are people using this lens for portraitures and landscape and they produced amazing work. The price will compensate the use in the long run and the lens was built to last. I advise people to have external monitor for composing for the built-in camera monitor is getting smaller every year. The lens is a prime lens, a mechanical equipment manual all the time, i consider this a machine built with metal and glass - not automatic/electronic lens. This lens moves in three different directions, tilt, shift, and rotate --X, Y and Z axis, in aviation roll, pitch and yaw. The thing negative is it doesnt come with hood for protection in the field you have to be very extra-careful for the glass protrudes out of the barrel. When i go out for shoot the positive effect is the lens is so obviously protrudes and the people respect you immediately for they think you are a living legend in photography, LoL. You can actually hear people from the background say "shht move back the guy is serious look at the lens. Is that a lens?" the bleeding wallet will heal right away. The lens cap was poorly designed for an expensive lens. The lens is remarkably beautiful, engineered and well-built to last.

[0.32 lb] Lens was purchased without time for testing due to conflict in travel schedule. The lens is very easy to use and hand holding was much easier than I thought it would be even using TS. Fantastic product just watch the front element as it sticks out quite far and can be easily scratched.

[0.32 lb] Wanted this locking Filter Frame to replace the non locking Holder Frame on my S5 system, and it attaches and works perfectly.

[0.32 lb] The NISI Filter Holder is designed to safeguard not only the Holder but the Filters and Polariser

As well it can be fixed onto each Tripod to have the best access to the filters at any place you will shoot successfully

[0.32 lb] Exceptional wide angle tilt/shift lens is great fun in cities or other tight spaces. Image quality is exceptional unshifted, but stop down to f/11 for a full shift. Image quality ranges from outstanding wide open over most of the unshifted frame to just good at the edges of the shifted frame at f/11. Fully shifted, image quality not acceptable until f/8. Flare control is outstanding, and mechanics are excellent, and build is superior to Nikon tilt/shift lenses. This lens is unique for its outrageously wide angle view, nearly a fisheye when fully shifted. In that context, it is unequalled by any other T/S lens. Look to the 24/3.5L II for another excellent choice. Be careful with the front element!

[0.32 lb] I shoot a lot of indoor, low-light stuff, so I needed to invest in the f/2.8 Sigma lens (can't afford those extra stops in Canon). Begrudgingly got this for landscape photos, and wish I'd never waited!


Yes, it's a drag to carry all these pieces around, but the results, well ...

[0.32 lb] The Nisi S5 protective Lens Cap is great for protecting and keeping your polarizer clean when carrying your camera with the filter attached to the adapter and mounted to your lens. Saves having to take it all apart when moving locations or if you have some time to wait, like waiting for sunrise. The cap is well made and fits perfectly!
