Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8L – EF

Overview
The TS-E 90mm lens is a specialist L-series tilt-and-shift lens that allows for precise control over perspective and depth-of-field in portrait and product photography. This is achieved through carefully calibrated movements, outstanding optical engineering, and precision moulded glass that minimizes distortion, even at a 1:2 macro ratio. With this lens, photographers can fine tune depth-of-field, correct subject distortion, and adjust focus in macro shots without the need for computers.

The 90mm focal length of the TS-E 90mm lens is ideal for portraiture and macro photography in the studio. Its shift function allows for minimization of perspective distortion, making it a popular choice for architecture photography. The tilt function can also be used creatively to achieve a ‘miniature effect’ by keeping different elements of an image in focus. The lens features high-quality, precision moulded glass and innovative optical designs that minimize refracted light and produce sharper images. With optimized lens coatings, photographers can expect excellent color balance and minimal ghosting for high-quality images.

About the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8L – EF
The TS-E 90mm is perfect for portraiture and macro photography in the studio.

The shift function enables the lens to be shifted up, down, left or right, allowing for minimisation of perspective distortion. This capability is used regularly in architecture photography as it allows for image perspective to be corrected – such as the inherent distortion witnessed at the top of an image of a tall building. One of the creative uses of the tilt function is the ‘miniature effect’. This involves moving the lens so that different elements of an image stay in focus, making certain aspects look very small.

Continuing the tradition of Canon’s use of the highest quality, superior precision moulded glass enable high-resolution to the edge of the image and very low levels of distortion. All three lenses feature innovative optical designs to cut down refracted light, which can impinge on accurate focusing, and UD (ultra-low dispersion) lens elements to produce sharper images. Optimised lens coatings ensure excellent colour balance while simultaneously minimising the chance for ghosting to impact image quality.

A specialist L-series tilt-and-shift lens
Control perspective and depth-of-field in portrait and product photography thanks to carefully calibrated movements, outstanding optical engineering and precision moulded glass for low distortion, even at 1:2 macro ratio.

Fine tune depth-of-field
Change the plane of focus to direct more attention to the subject and adjust depth-of-field as you see it, with no need for computers.

Correct subject distortion
Precise movements allow a ± 10° Tilt and a ±12mm Shift with a rotation of the shift/tilt functions +/-90° in any direction for superb perspective control.

Adjust focus in macro shots
A macro focus capability of 39cm means 1:2 life size images can be delicately focused with added control over perspective and depth-of-field.

Excellent optics and design
Aspherical and UD lens elements minimise chromatic aberration while Air Sphere Coating minimises ghosting and flare.

Pleasing 90mm focal length
A 90mm focal length gives a flattering compression for portraits with the added benefit of perspective control to correct verticals and maximise depth-of-field.

Control focus precisely for clever creative effects
Correct perspective and verticals quickly and accurately in-camera
Adjust focus detail in macro shots with 1:2 ratio
Optical excellence with advanced lens design and construction
Achieve better portrait and product images with ultimate sharpness
