I had a busy but fun week playing and shooting with Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift Lens. I rented that lens from LensREntals.com together with Canon EF 1.4X III Telephoto Extender. I was also using it with my EF 25 II Extension Tube.
I didn’t run any formal tests. I was just playing with the tilt feature shooting some food and small products. I didn’t have a chance to touch the shift movement. It was a lot of learning and plenty of inspiration.
It is interesting that I ended up using the tilt to decrease the field of depth rather than increasing it.
I am hooked. I love possibilities to control the depth of field. Now, the questions is do I really need that lens. Could I justify buying it? Most of my studio shots are done these days with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens. It seems to be sharper than 90mm TS-E.
