The focusing ring is marked with focusing distances, as well as magnification ratio. The ring itself has a decent amount of give, but is still loose enough to allow for quick focusing movements. There are hard stops at either end of the focusing ring, so you’ll know when you have reached infinity focusing. Unlike the other two new lenses in the tilt-shift range, the maximum aperture available is f/4 (compared with f/2.8), something which is marked on the front of the lens.Ī lens hood (ET-88) is included in the box with this lens, and can be attached to the front of the lens.Ī large focusing ring near the front of the lens has a textured grip.

The Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Lens is very large and cumbersome, and while it balances out reasonably well with full-frame cameras, it’s almost certainly better to use this lens with a tripod where possible.Īround the front of the lens is the distinctive red ring which marks out the lens as belonging to Canon’s professional “L” series. The lens construction consists of 11 elements in 7 groups, with 9 diaphragm blades.Īt the time of writing, the Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Lens retails for around £2,500 - the same price as the other two new tilt shift lenses.
Like the other new tilt shift lenses, it is a macro lens, with a minimum focusing distance of 49cm, and a ratio of 1:2. This lens is targeted at studio photographers, such as those who shoot food and products, giving precise control over the plane of focus to adjust depth-of-field in camera without the need for photo editing software. Unlike the 50mm and 90mm new tilt-shift lenses, the 135mm is not directly replacing anything, and introduces a new focal length for Canon’s range of tilt shift optics. The Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro Lens was one of the three new tilt-shift macro lenses introduced by Canon at the end of 2017.
