You're quite right - the 'software can do everything' reader wouldn't have got that far into the article ;-)  Indeed, if you are just doing smallish web shots and have the megapixels to spare, a ...

No, just the stitched one of the pub. All the others were just processed via ACR

It's an odd little lens (but that's what Laowa do ;-)  ) It's principally marketed for its macro capabilities, but I used it quite easily on the 100D as a shift (~24 equiv)  It's fully manual too, ...

Thanks Ed - the use of sideways shift is always the one I have to remember to think about, I've got the up/down shift almost on auto ;-)

It's been fascinating to see the outbreak of interest in tilt and shift lenses here of late. Whilst I've seen a lot about using tilt, I realised (after someone here asked me - thanks) that I'd ...

I'm not sure without checking in detail... Most product/industrial shots where I've used a T/S has been with shift to gently change the perspective of objects. This (cutout) is from a set of shots ...

I perhaps see it more as an overdue update for the TS-E45 ;-) It's good to see Canon putting together a full range of TS-E lenses - the 135 was not something I was expecting. I use the old TS-E90mm ...

That made me smile;-) Personally, one of the more useful bits about writing all the TS-E reviews was that I actually had to try and think that sometimes - oh and for a bit of tilt as well sometimes...

Thanks very much Richard, but I'm just using the driver with test images and my own profiles, and printing from Photoshop I'm really only covering the printer operation and the sort of quality it ...

From my own POV it's the focal length difference that makes the difference, so absolutely not ;-) I find the 24 works excellently on my 5Ds, and am in no rush to replace it. Sure, the 50 is ...

I was talking about the TS-E lenses with someone from Canon UK and they described the 2009 17/24 as 'second generation' TS-E, with the 2017 50/90ii/135 as 'third generation' The obvious change from ...

24mm - I have one (and the 17), never did get the 45, and even though the 50 is superb I suspect I'd probably just not use it enough to warrant the price?  The 50 is rather more 'twitchy' with its ...

Thanks Unfortunately that software is (AFAIK) windows only, which means I'll be no more than mentioning its existence (we're 100% Mac here)

Thanks, I just set it up last night and ran a few prints off with the roll of lustre paper it came with, and the Epson profiles. I'll ask Epson about the inks. As to the limitations of six colours, ...

Thanks for the examples - they show a compositional use of tilt in landscape that does push the performance envelope of the 17/24

The nice people at Epson UK have just sent me an SL-D700 to try out and review... Since it's commonly used at photo labs and for event work, I'm curious to see just how well it works with good ...

It will come as no surprise that I'd pick a TS-E lens most of the time ;-) The diagram you posted is just part of the set at: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/using-lens-tilt-on-your-digital-slr/ ...

If anyone's curious, I've just finished up some notes on the TS-E 24mm F3.5L II in the same format as the TS-E 17 and all the new TS-E lenses http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon-ts-e-24mm-3-5l ...

Thanks - I'll have the 24mm one finished soon.   Interestingly enough, since I started the series of reviews, I've been using the 24 a bit more often ;-)  The 17 still outdoes it in terms of ...

I've now finished up some notes about using the TS-E17mm if anyone is curious... http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon-ts-e17mm-f4l-review/ The lens is pretty much my favourite lens, and this ...
