If you miss your view camera, give this baby a hug…
After years of missing large format cameras with their swings and tilts, and of course their wonderful large film size that together produce incredible images, I think I have found something that will lessen my longing. This tilt-shift lens combined with a high-pixel DSLR (like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II) enable a photographer to produce images that can rival the best from medium format cameras and even can under the right circumstances push image quality into 4 x 5 inch sheet film territory. I got this lens, snapped it onto my camera and got excellent results right away. It helped to spend some time refreshing my memory about how to use tilts and shifts but aside from that, there was nothing mysterious about this lens other than the magical quality it possesses for producing sharp, colorful images that can be free of converging lines or offer incredible field of focus control. Other’s have described various technical qualities of this lens and most online reviews describe the several improvements this lens offers over it’s predecessor.
Canon TS-E 24mm F 3.5L high-precision glass molded aspherical and UD glass lens elements and accurate aspherical GMo along with a large diameter. It delivers outstanding image quality, high resolution and super-low distortion to all edges of the image. The lens incorporates a new type of anti-reflection coating, Canon’s SubWavelength structure Coating (SWC) that continuously changes the refractive index on the lens surface via wedge-shaped structures more minute than wavelength of visible light. This structure helps minimize flare and ghosting caused by bright light from large angles of incidence. The new Canon TS-E 24mm F 3.5L lenses are the 2nd and 3rd Canon EF series lenses with SWC, following the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM that was introduced in 2008.
