Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift Lens

Description

A short telephoto prime distinguished by its close focusing and perspective control capabilities, the TS-E 90mm f/2.8L Macro from Canon is a tilt-shift lens well-suited for 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 1.3' 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, which features one Ultra-Low Dispersion element to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations as well as one aspherical element to minimise spherical aberrations and distortion. Individual elements also feature an Air Sphere Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour neutrality.

Key Features:

• 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.
• One ultra-low dispersion element helps to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• One aspherical element minimises spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness.
• An Air Sphere 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 1.3' 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.
