Resolution test of tilt-shift lens Arsat 35mm:

As you see resolution of Arsat(ARAX) 35mm tilt-shift lens is really good in the center. Corners leave something to hope for, but given that this is done on full frame it is to be expected.

 

Tilting

The depth of field can be altered using tilting, either to reduce or to extend the depth of field.

Shallow DOF, same aperture as before, just tilted to the other direction.
This gives you and effect of a really large aperture.

 

Extended DOF, f/4, image plane tilted so that we get more DOF

 

Conclusion

-Cheap, cheapest wide-angle Tilt-Shift lens that you can find.
-Very good resolution in the center.
-Really deep blue skies on some instances, almost polarized skies.
-Very robust, real metal and optic glass, no crappy plastics.
