[82 mm (Front)] Aunque su control es totalmente manual (enfoque, apertura), en seguida aprend� a manejarlo. Buen contraste y hermoso color, su desenfoque de forma art�stica es fant�stico. Para un buen enfoque puedes usar el modo Live View de tu c�mara y acercar la imagen. Encantado con la compra.

[Manual Focus] I'm a landscape shooter, and for years large format was my system of choice. The film and developing finally got so expensive that I moved to digital 3 years ago. I now shoot with a 5D MK2 and an assortment of Canon L lenses. The camera is great - I love it. The long lenses are also superb, but I have frankly been disappointed with the wide zooms. I've been shooting with a 17-40, the 16-35 II, and the 24-70. All 3 lenses are excellent in the middle and long ends of their respective ranges. However, they leave much to be desired at the wide ends. Specifically, barrel distortion and a lack of corner sharpness is quite evident in each lens, even when stopped down to f/11 or smaller. I have learned that my Canon telephoto lenses are far superior to my Canon wides. Anyway, I finally took the plunge and ordered both the TS-E 17 and the TS-E 24 II. Wow, wow, wow. Barrel distortion is gone, and the corner sharpness is amazing, even when shifted or tilted, and even wide open! Both of these lenses are stellar performers, and what a joy it is to have movements once again. I still don't have rear tilt of course, but rise, fall and front tilt certainly give me back most of the movements that I had with large format. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough about both of these new Canon TS-E lenses. They are expensive, but worth every penny. Great job Canon. I am so glad that Canon has now become a true player in the realm of world-class wide angle lenses.

[1.87 lb] Used mainly for landscapes. Perspective correction and sometimes tilt to adjust focal plane. Very sharp 24mm lens. Good even at the edges especially stopped down one or two stops. Shift works very well even on 5D, a full frame camera. Only down side is its weight and size. Comes with the territory. Also requires a low profile filter like the B+W slim, which does not have an external thread. This requires the use of a slip on cap. Fortunately B+W provides one. Not very secure but will do.

[Manual Focus] Seemed like you can do anything to a image post, including selective focus (for Tilt), transform (for Shift). Why would anyone want to buy a specialty lens like a T/S?

To me it's the creative process of doing a image capture in camera, vs image manipulation on the computer. Plus you use your whole camera sensor to capture an image vs cropping your image on the computer (thereby loosing resolution) to achieve similar results.

Pros: Price, ease of use - remember "manual"? ..focus, f-stop ring, unlocking knos, dials, release lever.. take your time and you will have no trouble with the operation of this lens. Image quality is more than adequate with my D810.

Not the top of the line T/S with the silky smooth operation. If you have to T/S the lens against gravity (like shifting up vs down in a vertical composition, its best to support the lens and help it up instead of using only the adjustment dial)

Having a fine instrument can be a bliss, but the price out weights my occasional need of buying a $2,200+ Nikkor equivalent.

[82 mm (Front)] Great for extending depth of field in landscapes. Pricey, however. Can even be used for macro with a Canon extender.

[f/22] I own the old Canon 24mm T/S lens, though it is a good lens, I consistently had chromatic aberration problems and unsharp edges with it. After researching reviews of Canon's new 24mm T/S and noticing that the price was slightly reduced, I decided to buy the new lens. The construction and design are much better than the old 24mm, but I am incredibly happy with the edge sharpness of the new lens and with the lack of chromatic aberration. I own Canon's 24-70mm zoom and found it sharper than my old 24mm. The new 24mm seems sharper than the 24-70 zoom.

[Full-Frame] Superb optical performance, easy to hold with good balance.

[f/3.5] architecture, landscape, cityscape.

[Canon EF] At last a wide angle offering from Canon that that I am willing give 5 stars. The tilt shift rotate independently of each other as it always should have been. The quality and sharpness is awesome, all the way to the edge. I use it mostly for landscapes and on the first day I got an incredibly sharp shot in some deep woods that just wouldn't have been possible before. Now when I travel light this is on the short list of lenses I wouldn't leave behind. Downsides would be price and size which are both bigger than I wish but are quickly forgotten when you use it.

[f/3.5] This lens will give you creative control over vital aspects of your image that it's autofocus siblings dare not dream of.
