Canon's update to its 24mm tilt-and-shift lens is a substantial improvement on its predecessor. Thanks to a new barrel design the tilt and shift axes can be freely rotated with respect to each other, which substantially increases the creative possibilities. Build quality is examplary and the optics are superb, with essentially no distortion and minimal chromatic aberration. The only slight weakness is some softness towards the edge of the frame when the lens is used at more extreme shift positions; best results are obtained with the lens stopped down to F8 or smaller.
