It’s supplied with a large bowl-shaped hood and accepts 82mm filters.
#Tilt shift plus#
It enables up to +/-8.5° and +/-12mm shift, plus +/-90° rotation is available for each movement independently. Of these, the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II is the ‘go-to’ lens for architecture photography because its angle of view is suitable for photographing large buildings without having to go too far back. There are also options from other companies such as Laowa and Samyang.īest Tilt-shift lenses by manufacturer: Best Tilt-shift lenses for CanonĬanon currently offers five tilt-shift lenses, all with the full-frame EF mount: the TS-E 17mm f/4L (£2,259), TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II (£1,999), TS-E 50mm F2.8L Macro (£2,439), TS-E 90mm F2.8L Macro (£2,439) and TS-E 135mm F4L Macro (£2,439). The majority of tilt-shift lenses are made by Canon and Nikon, for their DSLR cameras, however, these can be used on mirrorless cameras, with an appropriate adapter. Tilt-and-shift lenses allow the shift movement to be rotated relative to the camera, for switching between landscape- and portrait-format shooting. Shifting the lens upwards allows the camera back to be kept upright when shooting architecture, to eliminate converging verticals (buildings appearing smaller the further away they are). They’re mostly used for studio-based product photography, and help improve depth-of-field. Longer focal-length tilt-shift lenses are often designated as macros. Alternatively it can provide a ‘fake miniature’ effect. Tilting the lens can be used to extend the depth of field without having to stop down the aperture, letting you use faster shutter speeds, and avoid diffraction. How-to choose a tilt-shift lens Focal lengthĢ4mm wideangle lenses tend to be ideal for architectural exteriors, while wider optics are great for interiors. You’ll find that tilt-shift lenses help with not only architecture and interiors, but also product photography. Take control over the perspective and plane of focus in your architecture and interior photographs with one of the best tilt-shift lenses.
