Here are a few from the farm:

Sorry I didnt catch you before you went to sleep, but I had one that did this too...I always assumed it was normal.

Had the scare of my lifetime just now.

Was going through some photos I took today and saw two with black bars at the 'top edge' of the frame. Both of these were when shifted one way.

I was playing around with the tilt and I think I went almost full tilt in those two shots. Both were one exposure of three (left, center, right) and (top, center, bottom) in the other. Both only showed it at the same shift exposures.

After gathering my breath together, I realize at full shift + full tilt, it is easily possible to have this happen.

Right? RIGHT? Somebody please confirm that for me so I can (finally) go to bed


Here's one of the shots, click for slightly larger
f/22, 8 seconds, the distance was probably a few feet.

Can someone try this with their lens?

1. Align both tilt and shift "axes" to coincide. As in you should be able to tilt and shift from side to side or top to bottom.
2. Shift to one extreme, let's say left.
3. Tilt to the other extreme end, the right, in this case.
4. Make sure the exposure is correct for the shot, on live view or otherwise.
5. Fire up the liveview and move the focus ring from one end to the other.

Do you see a black edge? I'm guessing that's the image circle's boundary.

Glad I could help put you "to rest".

Haha.

But seriously, haven't had my heart racing so fast as I did when I came across this. Started questioning everything from the shutter, humidity, heat and the lens itself to lens contact pins, memory card and the camera strap. (Needless to say, I tested all of those things )

Again, thanks

Thanks. I'm still trying to get the shift corrections for verticals down pat. Having to use LV is tough when it's really bright outside. I was also trying to do some tilting for DoF shots, but not being able to clearly see the LV screen in sunlight is a killer. I may need to buy a loupe or something just so I can make use of this amazing lens.

I've come across the same problem myself. I have been thinking of buying a head-band umbrella.

Not kidding.

I think an option I have overlooked is this

Yep, that's what I was thinking about getting. I just wish there was a better way of attaching it to the camera.
