The reason most people give for not investing in this top tier glass is that perspective correction in software is a cheaper and an efficient option. While it is possible to straighten lines and scew/distort images in software to get a desired result, most people are missing the main point of these...

The Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II is the 2nd incarnation of Canon's tilt-shift wide-angle lens. We will elaborate on the tilt-shift (thus TS) function in more detail later on but for starters - the tilt aspect refers to the focus plane which is normally co-planar to the sensor plane.

Originally bought for the tilt novelty with only a marginal awareness of the shift attributes, this is now my favorite lens that I use to capture incredible distortion-free panoramas. I typically shoot landscapes and real estate, and this lens offers a range of view beyond anything I've seen.

This lens has exceeded every expectation I had. Total game changer. I shoot architectural and real estate and I wish I added this lens to my collection a long tine ago.

habe die linse seit ca. 2 Jahren und werde sie nie mehr hergeben! bietet mehr M?glichkeiten als man annehmen würde. super scharf, tilt selten notwendig.

Canon's latest wide-angle tilt-shift optic promises a higher quality over the entire imaging area and a wider range of lens movements over its predecessor.

Excellent optical performance; Very good build quality; Good control over tilt-shift movements; Electronic coupling with Canon EOS cameras

Expensive

Any tilt and shift lens takes a bit of getting used to. This is no different. Put in a bit of effort learning how to get the best out of it and it will reward you with images you could not get with a standard lens. Sharp and a big step up from the Mark I version in optical quality and ease of use.

Sharp Focus

I'm just amazed the quality of images obtained with this lens! Sharp as a razor, from the center to the extreme corners, even at open aperture. Perfect for the artistic and architectural photography, TS-E 24/L3.5 II simply the best 24mm lens.

Razor sharp; brilliant picture quality; no CA

This lens is great if you have a more advanced knowledge in photography. It gives precise colors and exceptional picture quality.This lens is a little pricey but worth it. This lens also gives the photographer the advantage to tilt the lens which is a huge advantage.

This lens is well built and it produces great sharp images. it works great for architectural applications but It doesn't have auto focus; it can be used for selected applications in fast pace environments like weddings.

Durable; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

Heavy; Slow Focus
