Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Tilt Shift Lens

Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Tilt Shift Lens

The Canon 135mm f/4L Macro Tilt Shift Lens is the first of its kind. With a unique combination of features, it allows you to capture extreme close-up macro detail with a telephoto focal length, while at the same time also using the tilt-and-shift function to make fine adjustments to your depth of field and focus plane.

Telephoto Macro Lens

With a 135mm focal length the lens delivers a telephoto range perfect for portraits and product photography that can capture up-close images from far away. Ideal for studio work with extensive lighting setups the telephoto lens lets you shoot without getting in your own light. Nature macro shooters will love the reach that allows them to compose a shot without disturbing the subject.

9-Bladed Circular f/4 Aperture

The lens has an aperture range that opens to a maximum of f/4 and closes to f/45 you can extensively control your depth of field. The lens has a 9-bladed aperture that renders the out-of-focus areas with a pleasing smooth bokeh.

Tilt and Shift Functionality

More than just a telephoto macro lens, the 135mm f/4 incorporates a tilt-and-shift mechanism that gives you the ability to creatively place your focal plane with a tilt range of +10° to -10° and a shift function that lets you move the lens up and down 12mm to correct perspective distortion. This gives you the ability to control what parts of your shot are in focus and keep your composition lines straight.

Close-up Macro Telephoto

Boasting an impressive minimal focus distance of 49cm the 135mm allows you to get up close and personal to your subject, giving you the ability to focus on fine details like eye-lashes, intricate jewellery design to capture the essence of your subject.

L-Series Optical Construction

Comprised of 11 glass elements in total, the optics of the 135mm TSE are organised in a sophisticated arrangement of 7 groups, making the lens optimised for sharp results and is perfectly suited for cameras with high-resolution sensors like the Canon 5DS and 5DSR DSLR cameras. In addition, the lens has two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) elements that reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for maximum image quality.

Subwavelength Coating

The lens elements are treated with a Subwavelength (SWC) coating that reduces surface and internal reflections for optimised image clarity and contrast. The lens coating also helps to capture shots with accurate colours while suppressing flare and ghosting for clearer sharper images.

Ergonomically Designed Controls

The Canon TSE 135mm f4 L Series Macro Tilt-Shift Lens is designed for working photographers with large dials that allow for quick and easy adjustment. With a locking mechanism that prevents unintended movement and the ability be rotate the tilt-and-shift mechanism 90° while attached, the lens is an incredibly versatile tool for creative shooting.
