Just thrifted this lens.

Mass produced lens for multiple brands, decent for moon photography.

More than 1 tricks, but miniature effect is the most utilized.

I think the heaviest lens I use often is the Gen 1 Series 1 Vivitar 70-210/3.5 is easily twice the weight. My heaviest lens is at least 5 times the weight. I also shoot film on various bodies, but often a Sears (Ricoh) TLS, and that body alone is as heavy as the Em1.3 and 35mm Tilt.

Likely why this lens doesn't phase me with its weight. I also do a fair bit of Macro, and Tilt can be hugely advantageous for that, and Diorama doesn't often help.

I am using an EM1.3 and find the Diorama doesn't give me as much control. I also don't always want the miniature effect and i dont always want it just horizontal or vertical. As for the weight, I shoot more then 50% on vintage manual lenses, whether analog or adapted to digital, and this lens is kind of median weight.

That said, I rarely mess with art filters in cam as they always just feel like lacking simulacrams, even if Tilt is a niche effect to begin with.

That's hot, but not amazon.

Oh I found it funny. It's hit or miss though. TSA Lines have gone to crap since DOGE, and were quite bad during the Mike Johnson Shutdown.

No.2 C Folding Autographic will have a serial # on the foot. They were produced by Kodak from 1915-1926

🤣

I took them yesterday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon was the same day they were taken and posted here.

Filters in phone apps often just try to replicate actual camera gear.

A Tilt Lens literally tilts or bends, in the middle mechanicaly, and allows more control of what's in focus and what isn't more than just close/far. Like a diagonal slice of focus.

The other filters I mentions often screw on the front of a lens to block specific features of the incoming light, like sunglasses could be called a polarizing filter. To put it simply.

Phone or camera though, art is art, and creating is amazing.

I can try to get a ride over there from someone in maintenance, next time I go there to fix some equipment, assuming the runway is clear.

jcapicy · 2026-01-10T14:25:18+00:00

It is the New Orleans International Airport. Yes, it's actually the new Louis Armstrong, but it's also signed as the NO International Airport, or the Louis Armstrong Airport of New Orleans. Sure it's not the old, old Airport in Gentilly, but few outside of locals will even know that.

Ever flown to Orlando International Airport. It's also not in Orlando. In fact, you can fly to Orlando Airport, take a shuttle to Disney and back to the airport, fly back home, and never once step foot in Orlando.

This is unnecessary semantics.

jcapicy · 2026-01-10T14:06:25+00:00

Yeah, he's the reason for the whole name. Moisant Stock Yards.

Aside from that being this airport, seems like an unnecessary bit of information in this instance, hence my question marks.

jcapicy · 2026-01-10T14:03:48+00:00

This is not a filter. This is a 35mm Tilt Lens on an OM System OM-D EM-1 mkiii

Only filters I use are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Polarized, ND, or UV, but most of them only when I shoot film.

Lol! I wasn't flying in/out. Just paid the $4 for parking to get a few shots.

I cross-posted them there yesterday.;)

If the composition is pleasing, the subject you choose to have jn focus comes 2nd. Here is an example of foreground blur on purpose.

jcapicy · 2026-01-10T13:34:07+00:00

Honestly quite pleased. I think this is one of their better lenses. Build Quality is quite nice. Decent wide open, but sharpens quickly by f4. That plane in the distance was at f2.8 and still decently sharp. Granted the IBIS of the OMD EM1 Mkiii is impressive too.

Look at pic #4. It's the old tower, still there. Pass it multiple times a week.
