E-Photozine: TS-E 50mm Macro Tilt-Shift Review

E-Photozine completed their review of the new TS-E 50mm Macro tilt shift lens.

At a glance;

• Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/32
• Two Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
• One Aspherical Element
• Air Sphere and Subwavelength Coatings
• Maximum Tilt: +/- 8.5°
• Maximum Shift: +/- 12mm
• Minimum Focusing Distance: 10.6"
• Maximum Magnification: 0.5x

Their conclusion? It's pretty good and has features ;)

It has bulk, it has the features. It has a high price, it has the features. In other words, another of those situations where the feature set and quality are not in question but the price will limit the market to those who really need this as a working tool. It would be very nice indeed to own, but it does need to pay its way, as well as needing a high degree of photographic skill to get the best out of its potential.

Given the need and the cash, the photographer will certainly not be disappointed in the results from the Canon TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro lens.
