Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift Lens

Description

Mixing a normal field of view with perspective- and depth of field control, the TS-E 45mm f/2.8 from Canon is a tilt-shift lens well-suited to producing well-corrected imagery with a natural perspective. Up to +/- 8° of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 11mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition. The tilt-shift mechanism can be rotated +/- 90° for applying movements in any direction, and a tilt-locking mechanism can be used while shooting for greater stability. The lens also employs a floating optical system and rear focusing design to maintain image quality throughout the focusing range and a Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual element to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.

• Perspective control, tilt-shift lens affords +/- 11mm of shift and +/- 8° 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° for applying the movements in distinct directions.
• Tilt-locking mechanism ensures the lens stays in place while shooting.
• Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
• Floating optical system and rear focusing design maintain clarity and image quality throughout the focusing range, from 1.3 to infinity.
• Rounded eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
