A unique telephoto offering close focus control along with perspective control capabilities the TS-E 135mm f4L 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 1.6' and a maximum magnification of 0.5x are also benefitted 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 color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity. Individual elements also feature a Subwavelength Coating To suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color 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 color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.
A Subwavelength Coating has been applied To lens elements To minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
A minimum focusing distance of 1.6' along with a maximum magnification of 0.5x benefits working with close-up subjects.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes To a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.
