Canon TS-E 45mm f2.8 review | Canon | Lenses

Overview

Normal lens featuring tilt and shift movements. The Floating system and Rear focusing give sharp and stable delineation from 0.4 m to infinity. The 45mm Focal length is deal for obtaining a natural-looking perspective.

Excellent build quality. The photographs it produces are really nice. Certainley does not replace a camera with more movement, but a good addition to my 35mm kit.

Amazing lens. The learning curve is a little steep, but if you stay with it then you will be really happy with the results.
