• Two Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
• Subwavelength Coating
• Great Optics
• Reliable Design
• Well-suited for product, studio, and tabletop photography

Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens w/ Macro offers great optical performance. This L-series prime is distinguished by its optical design that features a pair of Ultra-Low Dispersion elements to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity. Individual elements also feature a Subwavelength Coating to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour neutrality. Perspective control, tilt-shift lens affords +/- 12mm of shift and +/- 10° of tilt, and both types of movements can be applied independently, and parallel or perpendicular to one another. In addition, the tilt and shift functions can be rotated +/- 90° in any direction for applying the movements in distinct directions. The Tilt-locking mechanism and a large tilt knob benefit the operation and ensure the lens stays in place while shooting.

Up to +/- 10° 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 1.6' 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.

More of its great features, the Two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements help to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy. A Subwavelength Coating has been applied to lens elements to minimise surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting environments. A minimum focusing distance of 1.6' along with a maximum magnification of 0.5x benefits working with close-up subjects.
