Every adjustment
has a purpose.
Shift to refine the frame. Tilt and swing to arrange the plane of focus. On the SP45pro, separate controls let you work through each decision with intention.
Inside the movement system
Worm drives provide self-locking tilt and swing. Shift and rise/fall use lead screws; release the corresponding locking levers before adjustment. Usable movement depends on the lens, bellows and available clearance.
In practice
Begin with the image.
Choose the movement.
Refine the frame. Keep the perspective.
Rise and shift let you adjust the framing while keeping the image plane upright. Choose a lens with the coverage needed for the movement.
Movement and compatibility depend on the selected system.
Make the right
