The Leica TS-APO-Elmar-S 120mm f/5.6 ASPH allows control of perspectives and focal plane for creative tilt-shift photography. The lens provides complete sharpness when tilting and focusing on an object at maximum aperture. Conversely, tilting the focal plane in the opposite direction of the elongation of the subject may be used to reduce depth of focus.
