Compared to other manual tilt/shift lenses it is a bit surprising that the rotation is limited to only 90°, as they can be rotated freely by 360°. The whole lens can be rotated by 90° to allow for tilt in any direction. Close to the bayonet is a small locking knob for the rotation mechanism. We have a few controls for the tilt mechanism. I am happy to report the stops are arranged equidistantly. The aperture ring is clickless and turns ~120° from f/1.4 to f/16. Especially when you want to make use of the miniature effect this can be an issue. When tilted this is an issue, as you will not be able to focus at all distances in all parts of the frame anymore. The problem is that the focus ring cannot be turned a lot past infinity. The focus ring has a very nice resistance – neither too hard nor too soft – and rotates ~120° from the minimum focus distance of 0.5 m to infinity.
