Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L 17mm

30.8 Wildlife/Sports Score
17mmf/22Canon EFWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

The 17mm ultra-wide perspective combined with +/- 12mm shift and +/- 6.5° tilt movements provides precise control over converging lines and focal plane, aided by 4 UD elements and a Subwavelength Coating to suppress flare. The independent rotation of tilt and shift functions through +/- 90° allows for flexible orientation adjustments without re-mounting the lens. This manual-focus prime is best for architectural photographers requiring full-frame perspective correction on Canon EF bodies.
