What does a tilt shift lens do?

What Is a Tilt-Shift Lens? A tilt-shift lens (also called a perspective control lens) changes the position of a lens in relation to a camera’s image sensor. When the lens tilts so that it is no longer parallel to the camera’s image sensor, it shifts the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.

What are tilt-shift lenses used for?

A tilt-shift lens (also called a perspective control lens) changes the position of a lens in relation to a camera’s image sensor. When the lens tilts so that it is no longer parallel to the camera’s image sensor, it shifts the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.

What does a Canon tilt-shift lens do?

A tilt shift lens allows the photographer to change the position of that imaging circle. By tilting the lens, you change the center of that imaging circle, which can straighten the lines that appear to converge in the distance.

What can you do with a tilt-shift lens?

What is the best 17mm tilt-shift lens?

The Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens is, at review time, the widest tilt-shift SLR lens made. It is also one of the highest quality (both optically and physically) 17mm lenses made.

Does the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L tilt-shift lens have barrel distortion?

While the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens does have a small amount of barrel distortion, it has significantly less than either the 16-35 or 17-40 at this focal length.

What is the difference between a 24mm and 17mm lens?

Obviously, 17mm provides a significantly different FOV from a 24mm lens. Shown above are the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Tilt-Shift Lens (left) and the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens . The price?

How to tell if a lens is good for 12mm shift?

Reduced sharpness will be seen in the most-expanded corners of the image when shifting. 12mm shifted results strongly prefer narrow apertures – f/8 and narrower. You can see this in the “S=-12” focal length option in the tool. At f/5.6, 6mm shifted results look very good. Tilt and shift are not hard to use.
