The Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L is an ultra-wide-angle tilt-shift lens designed for professional photographers seeking precise control over perspective and depth of field. As part of Canon’s L-series, it offers exceptional optical quality and robust construction.
Key Features:
- Tilt-Shift Functionality: The lens provides up to ±6.5° of tilt and ±12mm of shift, allowing photographers to adjust the plane of focus and correct perspective distortion. The tilt and shift mechanisms can be rotated ±90° independently, offering flexibility in applying movements in any direction.
- Advanced Optics: The optical design includes Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass elements and a specially coated aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion, ensuring high image clarity and sharpness. Canon’s Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) is applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting.
- Robust Construction: As an L-series lens, it features a durable build quality, designed to withstand the demands of professional use. The lens also includes a tilt-locking mechanism for greater stability during shooting.
