Product Description
Product Description
Product description mount; tilt shift lens Gaussian optics give high-quality delineation and true background blur 90mm focal length f/2.8 maximum aperture Manual focus only From the Manufacturer: With a Canon TS-E lens, you can control the angle of the plane of focus and the pictures perspective. The effects of large-format camera movements can be obtained with TS-E lenses for EOS cameras. Although manual focusing is required, automatic aperture control enables auto exposure and auto exposure bracketing. The tilt and shift axes intersect at a 90 Degree angle. They can be made parallel at an authorized Canon Service Facility (modified at owners expense). Telephoto perspective, f/2.8 speed, and full tilt and shift movements in a compact, professional package. Impressively sharp, its ability to alter the plane of focus can provide a "look" that previously required a view camera to achieve. Pros have found it a great option for portraits, products and even fashion work. At its closest focus distance (1.6 ft./0.5m), it gives magnifications of about 1/3 life-size. Filter size: 58 mm, Closest Focusing Distance: 1.6 feet.

The 90/2.8 TS-E lens turned out to be surprisingly sharp even when fully shifted in either direction without any visible vignetting which was a major issue in the first version of the 24/3.5 TS-E I lens. This 90/2.8 TS-E lens can easily compete in sharpness with my very sharp copy of the newer 24/3.5 TS-E II lens. I also tested this lens with my full frame infrared camera with cutoff at 715 nm, and it worked flawlessly. Merging three photos taken in both shift directions and without shift works easily without any remaining distortions or problems for the post processing software to merge the photos.
So far I only used this lens for landscape photography, but I am sure it is excellent for macro and close-up photography, too. Since it is a manual focus lens like all other TS-E lenses, I recommend finding a good used lens copy for a reasonable price. Canon will likely update this lens in 2014/2015 time frame with a new model which likely will be able to rotate tilt versus shift more easily (as in the 24/3.5 TS-E II lens). I am not convinced that I would benefit from a new lens model of this already superior lens in image quality. I am glad that I am now owning this lens - definitely a keeper and one of my sharpest lenses.
Unlike the 2 newer TS/E models (24mkII and 17), you can not rotate the tilt and shift axis seperately. Your tilt and shift rotate together on this model. I understand you can have Canon rebuild to a 90 degree seperation if you so desire, but it is not something you can do out in the field when using the lens. However, in most shooting situations, this limitation will not be a problem. Also, as with other tilt/shift, it is better to get your exposure readings before making tilt/shift adjustments as the angle can fool your through-the-lens exposure readings. The lens is fairly compact for a tilt/shift model. The tilt/shift adjustment knobs are a bit on the small side but still managable.
I am very favorably impressed with this lens, and while it sells for much less than its newer siblings, it can still hold its own in critical shooting situations. It has a wonderful rendering of images that is very pleasing. This focal length can be used for macro (you can use extension tubes with it), portraits, products, and architecture when shooting from a distance. Because of its outstanding optical quality it can even be used for landscape when you don't need a wide angle. It will also work with the 1.4X extender.
Overall, this is a very versatile lens that can be used in many creative ways. If you are looking for a tilt/shift and don't need wide angle, this lens has exceptional optical quality, sturdy build, and costs much less than the newer models recently introduced. Highly recommended.
I also use it for corrective portraiture, when shooting headshots with people with round face, double chin, or some other difficult features. Since there is no autofocus, this is not the easiest thing to do, but people who are really conscious about their facial features will usually cooperate with me with this slow working lens, when I tell this is one of the best but unknown tricks anyone can use, combined with lighting technique, etc... If the model has no such issue, I prefer to shoot 85mm with AF.
I took one star away because I can't change the axes of tilt and shift independently.
Incidentally, TS-E 45mm is terrible at anything like half life size, and it gets a lot worse with tele converter. That lens is good for bigger objects.
