Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Tilt-Shift Lens

Introduction

A unique telephoto offering close focus control along with perspective control capabilities the TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro from Canon is a tilt-shift lens well-suited for studio, product, and tabletop photography. Up to +/- 10 of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 12mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition, and a tilt-locking mechanism can be used while shooting for more stability. A minimum focus distance of 1.6feet and a maximum magnification of 0.5x are also benefited by the range of movements for more control over depth of field when photographing close-up subjects.

Complementing the operation of the lens, this L-series prime is also distinguished by its optical design that features a pair of Ultra-Low Dispersion elements to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity. Individual elements also feature a Subwavelength Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour neutrality.

• Perspective control, tilt-shift lens affords +/- 12mm of shift and +/- 10 of tilt, and both types of movements can be applied independently, and parallel or perpendicular to one another. Additionally, the tilt and shift functions can be rotated +/- 90 in any direction for applying the movements in distinct directions.
• Tilt-locking mechanism and a large tilt knob benefit operation and ensure the lens stays in place while shooting.
• Two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements help to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• A Subwavelength Coating has been applied to lens elements to minimise surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
• A minimum focusing distance of 1.6feet along with a maximum magnification of 0.5x benefits working with close-up subjects.
