Using shift and tilt TS-E 24mm 1:3.5 L with the smallest
of the Canon bodies Canon's lineup of lenses was clearly the main factor for the raise of the EOS system. Nikon's response came years later. Only now, in June/July 2008 Nikon brought a series of comparable tilt and shift lenses, but at a extremely steep price, what makes the entire combination of Canon TS-E 24mm L and a EOS-400D actually... cheaper than the Nikon's 24mm F/3.5 PC lens alone! Of course the obvious disadvantage of using wide shift lenses with DX sized sensors is that their effective focal length is longer. Here its approx. 36mm, and this is often not wide enough. Even the smallest Canon body can apparently operate with this lens in its full shift deflection. This is an example of achieving larger depth of field by tilting the lens. Lens in this example has been altered to tilt and shift in the same direction. Canon asks to send in the lens for the alteration, but in fact one can do it at home with a suitable precision screw driver in just one minute! |
