I advise people to have external monitor for composing for the built-in camera monitor is getting smaller every year. The price will compensate the use in the long run and the lens was built to last. I heard there are people using this lens for portraitures and landscape and they produced amazing work. This lens performs well for me, and in the long run this lens will save me a lot of time editing for i can correct distortions in the field immediately. I am challenging myself into taking my photographs AS IS, without heavy editing in the end of the shot (only touched contrast, exposure and thats it). It was taken around 5:30PM in Long Island NY. These two photos was taken in one frame shot - not in five frames then stitch later. I am so happy I spent the money, the results are fabulous, not only in workflow, but in beautiful photos. I used my 16-35, a frustrating experience that worked, but to get verticals vertical, I had way too much ceiling, so I ended up shooting almost everything at 16mm and cropping the ceiling and sides down in post to retain aspect ratio, adding unnecessary time to my workflow. After using it for two years, I had it serviced, and while it was gone I realized how much I missed it. In kitchens, I can have the tripod high enough so you can't see under the unfinished underside of cabinets, yet still show lower cabinets, ovens, flooring.

With my tripod fully extended to 72 inches I can include soaring ceilings as well as the floor. Using this lens cuts down on constantly having to adjust the height of the tripod. The price is steep, but it's an investment with high yields. This is my favorite lens for interior photography, whether I'm shooting expansive or closet-size spaces. Additionally, a floating optical system and a rear focus design help to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from 9.8' to infinity. Individual elements also feature a Subwavelength Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color neutrality. 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.Ĭomplementing the operation of the lens, this L-series prime is also distinguished by its optical design that features four of Ultra-Low Dispersion elements to significantly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations as well as one aspherical element to minimize spherical aberrations and distortion. Up to +/- 6.5° of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 12mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition. Presenting an ultra-wide field of view with advanced perspective and focus control, the TS-E 17mm f/4L is a Canon L-series tilt-shift lens well-suited to architecture and interior photography.
