Digital BW, The Print

These lenses are very easy to use if you are familiar with using a view
camera and they are very convenient.  I use all three but find the 45mm to
the most used one in my bag; the 90mm is second.  You can see the results in
the viewfinder - I have the enhanced focusing screen to better determine
focus.  With lenses of this focal length, you only need a very small amount
of tilt or shift to have a significant effect on the image.

 

I had the Canon service department rotate the tilt/shift controls so that
the tilt and shift are on the same axis.  This is very helpful for landscape
work.  I love the flexibility of image control with a view camera and find
that these lenses give you the next best thing with a small format film or
digital SLR.

 

The newer Canon 24mm design allows the rotation of the tilt/shift axis so
modification by Canon's service department is no longer needed.

 

They are great lenses for landscape photographers - it is good to see Nikon
finally getting the game and challenging them with its new tilt/shift
offerings.  We will all benefit from the competition.

Is it hard to learn to use the tilt/shift lens if you have never used 
anything similar in the past? That new Canon 24mm t/s looks 
interesting
Thanks
