The Canon TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift Lens is a new focal length addition to Canon's esteemed tilt-shift lineup. This unique lens provides nuanced tilting and shifting control, a true-to-life magnification ratio, high contrast, and accurate color rendering. The control knobs are large for fast, tactile control while a locking mechanism keeps your tilt position exactly in place. This lens is equipped with a shift of ± 12mm and a tilt of ± 8.5°, which can be applied independently or in parallel to each other for exceptional control over eliminating converging lines and/or establishing a very specific plane of focus. You can also use this lens without tilting or shifting as a normal medium telephoto lens with a maximum magnification of 0.5x, which is well suited for capturing small objects (but note that there is no autofocus function). With a minimum focusing distance of around 10", this lens is suitable for closeup photography. It was engineered to complement Canon's latest high resolution camera sensors, such as the Canon 5Ds. The Canon TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift Lens is ideal for portraits, copy work, product photography, architecture, fine art, and "miniaturization" projects for both time-lapse and video.
