PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS 

Operations manual 

 

1. GENERAL GUDIELINES 

 
The TS ARAX 2,8/35 (TS = Tilt Shift) camera compact lens with tilt and shift movements is a wide-angle, eleven element  large 

aperture optical system, suited for producing extremely high quality photographs. The effects of large-format camera movements can be 
obtained with TS ARAX lenses for 35mm cameras. 

The TS ARAX 2,8/35 lens is available for 35mm type cameras:

In terms of structure the optical block tilTShifting mechanism is designed to provide the photographer with the power correct the 

image distortions encountered during shooting architecture, panoramas, and products.  

The optical elements of the lens have a special multi-layer coating (

МС

), they improve image quality and increase contrast range 

by enhancing integral transmission and decreasing the dispersion. 

The camera lens operates in the temperature range from minus 15 to 45°
