Photex 50mm f/2 Tilt Shift Lens for Olympus Micro 4/3 m4/3

The tilt /shift mechanism is very well done and works nicely!!The lens is optically ok,a bit plastic feeling but ok!!The bayonet mount for MFT is ok but in the E-M5 Olympus there was a slight problem with the outer ring touching the housing's false prism protrusion.I still have to test pictures using tilt/shift!!The lens does a good job as a normal 50mm lens!!Albert EAgain the outer part of the mounting baionet had to be filed a bit more to fit the E-M1!!What I had taken off for the E-M5 was not enough!!!Now I can use it on both Olympus MFT cameras!!!I hope the newer lenses have this problem corrected because it is a delicate job to do it unless you are skilled and very careful!!Posted August 7 2014!!Albert E

In the old days I used a Canon tilt-shift on my A1-body. Those days are over now and this year I went for the Panasonic GF6. Of course I need to rebuild my collection of lenses to get back on track, only digital now.I am very pleased that the Panasonic GF6 has a 'no lens'-mode for lenses without any built-in computer-technology, like this tilt-shift lens. Completely manual operation and it works great!
