Canon TS-E TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro
With an f/2.8 constant aperture and L-series optics that include two UD elements and Air Sphere Coatings, it delivers sharp, high-resolution images with suppressed aberrations. The tilt-shift mechanism offers precise perspective control, while the 0.5x macro capability at a 269mm minimum focus distance enables detailed close-up work uncommon in this lens class. It’s best for product and architectural photographers who need meticulous depth-of-field manipulation and distortion correction for tabletop and interior shots.
Bu Lens hakkında
Characterized by its close-focusing and perspective control capabilities, the TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro from Canon is a normal-length tilt-shift lens well-suited for product, tabletop, architectural, and interior photography. Up to +/- 8.5° 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 10.6" 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.
