Canon 17mm f4 TS E

The TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift lens Canon is an ultra wide-angle manual focus lens for EF mount cameras with a 104º diagonal angle of view on full-frame cameras. It is the widest tilt-shift lens in Canon alignment and offers pan and tilt functions to control perspective and the correct convergence of lines within its frame. It is especially useful in architecture, landscape and product photography. Optical tilt mechanisms allow precise control of depth of field, along with perspective control.

The tilt shift function on the 17mm f/4 lens allows adjustment of the focal plane at an angle of +/- 6.5º and allows parallel change of the optical axis by +/- 12mm. Both tilt and displacement can be contracted separately and in combination. The tilt-shift mechanism rotates locks at right angles and in parallel and clicks at 45º and the lens mount itself can rotate left or right 90º with click-stop adjustment every 30º.

Being an L Canon series lens, its optical design and physical structure are optimal. Aspherical and ultra-low elements of the dispersion lens suppress aberrations and provide sharp delineation. Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) reduces ghosting and glare and truly circular diaphragm results in pleasant out-of-focus background. The lens focus ring provides precise manual focusing action and improved tilt and shift knobs are sturdy and smoothly controlling the mechanisms.
