Just the other day we posted about how AstrHori RockStar lenses are now available on Amazon, yet one of the more interesting lenses the AstrHori RockStar 50mm F1.4 Tilt still isn’t available on Amazon yet. The AstrHori RockStar 50mm F1.4 Tilt looks like a very fun and interesting tilt lens and the Sony Alpha Blog appears to agree. You can read the SAB review here or check out the excerpts below:
