Tilt-shift lenses aren't cheap, so when the official announcement of the $1000 Rokinon 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lens came about, many photographers were very excited. We got one of the first ones to roll off the assembly line and took it for some testing in NYC and Florida.
The images that follow were all shot RAW and converted to JPG's using Adobe Lightroom 4. Some slight exposure adjustments were made to a few of the images (no more than +or- 2/3rds a stop).
Because the lens has no electrical communication with the camera, aperture information was not recorded in the metadata. That said, the vast majority of the images that follow were shot at f/3.5 (a couple of the ones in bright sunlight may have been at f/4 or f/5.6).
