![]() from /, where they can be found starting at $500 (affiliate links) Handling / Build Quality You can still buy this lens new for $1399 at / or B&H, but I rather recommend getting a good used one, e.g. You may also have a look at the official page. Maximum Magnification: 1:6.3 (measured).Number of Aperture Blades: 8 (slightly rounded).Field of view: 51° (diagonally, unshifted).The 45mm reviewed here has the following specifications: It has been replaced by the Canon TS-E 50mm 2.8L Macro in late 2017. This 45mm lens was introduced in 1991 alongside the Canon TS-E 24mm 3.5L and the TS-E 90mm 2.8 Macro. Specifications / Version HistoryĬanon has a bit of a history to never release a T/S lens alone. Most of the sample images in this review can be found in full resolution here. Sony A7rII | Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 | f/2.8 | Shifted Up | panorama from 4 shots Sony A7rII | Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 | f/2.8 It is now one of the cheapest Tilt/Shift lenses you can find, but is there still a place for this lens in today’s world of high resolution sensors? Let uns find out in this review! Sample Images Sony A7rII | Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 | f/2.8 | Full Tilt+Shift Left and full Tilt+Shift Right combined Sony A7rII | Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 | f/2.8 | Tilt Left Sony A7rII | Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 | f/2.8 | Tilt Diagonally The Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 hit the market in 1991. That is the reason why I bought these lenses.Introduction Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8 via Sigma MC-11 on Sony A7rII Also for real estate photography, these lenses are perfect. Just keep in mind to capture enough extra space to allow cropping.īut if shoot a lot of buildings or other objects that have vertical lines and you need a perspective distortion-free capture, it might be worth investing in such a lens. If you have to correct perspective distortion just once in a while, it might be perfect to do so in post-processing. Nevertheless, most tilt-shift lenses are much too expensive to buy without a good reason. I used the Canon version for this article. Of course, Nikon also has its own versions. But perhaps there are more alternatives available. Laowa is one brand that comes to mind, just like Samyang. But it is possible to find some budget version on the market. Who Will Benefit From the Shift Function of a Tilt-Shift Lens? But there will be some degradation in the parts that have been affected by the correction, although I don't think you will notice in most cases. The end result after perspective correction looks great. This is shown in the before/after image below. This can be done by shifting the lens relative to the camera, in this case, upwards. You just have to place the part that will be registered by the sensor in the correct location. Because of the large image circle, the whole building or tree will be visible within that image circle. Shifting To Prevent Perspective Distortion At the same time, there will be too much ground or pavement in the frame. That is the moment when the shift function of the tilt-shift lens comes in handy. The vertical lines of buildings will be vertical, but the building might not fit into the frame. So, if you can hold your camera perfectly horizontal, the perspective distortion is absent. There might be some regular barrel distortion, but that is due to the physics of the lens. If you hold your camera perfectly horizontal, you will see the lines become normal again. By tilting upwards, the perspective distortion is huge. With a 17mm wide angle lens, this is the result with this building.
