The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 L Macro Lens is a new specialist lens from Canon, launched at the same time as two other TS-E Macro lenses, a 50mm and a 135mm. It is a replacement for the older 90mm f/2.8 TS-E lens, which was neither macro, nor "L".
The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 ($1,399 direct) is one of those lenses that photographers often think about adding to their arsenal, but are reluctant to do so as it isn't an everyday optic.
Extremely sharp; Tilt and shift capability; Lockable adjustments
Manual focus only
The lens is super sharp and easy to learn to use.
This lens , usually bought for product photography has recently become favoured for the special effect of exaggerated limited DOF (depth of field). i.e. you not only extend DOF considerably (effective DOF) you can go the other way and limit it for special effects ( like making people look like...
Consistent Output; Versatile
Difficult to Clean; No weather sealing; Slow Focus

This is a fascinating lens overall. Although the 90MM perspective limits its use for large architectural shots, it will render details well that cannot be reached without a ladder. Long street shots are beautiful with the lens, and although I haven't tried it yet, I see tabletop shots showing real...
Extremely well built; Sharp, unique perpective control features for a short telephoto lens
Lock knobs could be bigger
The tilt was only half what I expected. The lens will not attach to Canon's Macro Twin Lite. The lens will focus quite close, acting as a macro lens. The lens is well made, but the shift and tilt are at right angles and should have been made adjustable so

The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 ($1,399 direct)($1,399.00 at Amazon) is one of those lenses that photographers often think about adding to their arsenal, but are reluctant to do so as it isn't an everyday optic. The lens allows for tilt and shift movements that were commonplace in large format film cameras of old, which often had a bellows system between the film holder and lens. This allowed photographers to carefully adjust the angle at which light captured by the lens hit the negative. But you needed a sturdy tripod—and film had to be loaded sheet-by-sheet into holders in total darkness. The move to small, portable cameras largely eliminated this movement capability, instead keeping the lens strictly parallel to the film plane. Specialized lenses with tilt and shift capability like the TS-E 90mm f/2.8 bring that ability back to a camera that you can carry in one hand—though you'll want probably still want to use a tripod. Shifting the lens up or down has practical applications in ar...
With shift and tilt capability, the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 is a special-use lens, but one that is incredibly sharp and able to capture some unique images.
