The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 ($1,399 direct) is one of those lenses that photographers often think about adding to their arsenal, but are reluctant to do so as it isn't an everyday optic.

The tilt was only half what I expected. The lens will not attach to Canon's Macro Twin Lite. The lens will focus quite close, acting as a macro lens. The lens is well made, but the shift and tilt are at right angles and should have been made adjustable so

Close focusing; Rugged

Limited Tilt

The first tilt/shift lens Canon produced, the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift Lens, is also Canon's highest optical performing tilt/shift lens. I don't like to be redundant in my reviews, but Canon's tilt/shift line shares many qualities.

"I have been wanting this lens for some time, and decided to order one when I saw the big savings ($340). The price is competitive even compared to B&H which is a big plus as I don't need to pay for the duty and and international shipment.

Easy to use this lens, even with big hands. Well done build, smooth focusing. The image quality, sharpness best I ever seen. Fantastic to use product, food or even portrait photography. My favourite lens in the bag.

The lens is super sharp and easy to learn to use.

I'm advertising professional photographer since 1980 and large and medium format is what I used in this time since I have my second Canon, (my first was a Canon F1 in 1978, after that I switch to Nikon for a while) the new 5D, just after his launch into the market, I saw the TS90 in Canon's website...

This lens is superb optically. I use it mainly in the studio for table top shots. I found that it is far more flexible for small jewelry products than when I used a 100mm Macro, because of the tilt feature. I have used it with the 2x Teleconverter to achieve very close results.

Great resolution; Tilt and shift are waaay more useful than shift alone

have to modify it to change the axis of shift with tilt; a little bulky (but not bad

The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 L Macro Lens is a new specialist lens from Canon, launched at the same time as two other TS-E Macro lenses, a 50mm and a 135mm. It is a replacement for the older 90mm f/2.8 TS-E lens, which was neither macro, nor "L".
