Canon TS-E 50mm F/2.8L Macro Lens

50mm TS-E F/2.8L Macro Lens from Canon

Characterized by its close-focusing and perspective control capabilities, the TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro from Canon is a normal-length tilt-shift lens well-suited for product, tabletop, architectural, and interior photography. Up to +/- 8.5° of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 12mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition, and a tilt-locking mechanism can be used while shooting for more stability. A minimum focus distance of 10.6" and a maximum magnification of 0.5x are also benefitted by the range of movements for more control over depth of field when photographing close-up subjects.

Complementing the operation of the lens, this L-series prime is also distinguished by its optical design that features a pair of Ultra-Low Dispersion elements to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations as well as one aspherical element to minimize spherical aberrations and distortion. Individual elements also feature both Air Sphere and Subwavelength Coatings to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour neutrality.

• A unique characteristic of a tilt-and-shift lens is the ability to adjust the plane of focus. This can be done creatively in camera without having to use a computer. Thanks to the adjustable movements in the lens construction, it is possible to increase depth-of-field or restrict focus to a small part of the subject; a useful and very convenient way to creatively direct the viewer’s attention to where you want it most.
• A conventional lens with no movements will record the verticals of a tall subject, such as a building or a group of trees, with a certain degree of distortion depending on how close you are. A tilt-and-shift lens, thanks to its intricate adjustable shift movements, allows you to overcome the convergence of verticals without having to reposition the camera.
• Maximise realistic detail even in close-up photography, with a lens that can focus up to half life-size. Ensure your subject is perfectly in proportion thanks to precise incremental movements built into the lens allowing careful fine-tuning of both plane of focus and subject perspective.
• Using the very latest L-series lens technologies, the TS-E range of lenses are constructed to record the finest detail as realised by Canon high-resolution sensors. Large diameter, high precision, moulded glass aspherical lenses are used to reduce distortion as much as possible with advanced lens coatings to enrich contrast and sharpness.
• Achieve exceptional focus and shoot with realism and clarity thanks to the versatility of a lens boasting a 0.5x maximum magnification. The TS-E 50MM F/2.8L MACRO is an ideal all-rounder perfect for landscape, architecture and product photography in the studio and boasts an exceptional tilt and shift range designed to give you ultimate shooting flexibility.
