TS-E MACRO Lens Features Canon TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, Canon TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO, and Canon TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO have the following features. OO Range of tilt is ±8.5° for TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, and ±10° for TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO and TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO. OO Range of shift is ±12 mm. OO Macro shooting at up to 0.5 times magnification when tilted or shifted is possible. OO Rotation allows the direction of the entire lens to be changed.
TS-E MACRO Lens Features OO Before mounting or detaching the lens, or turning the lens for rotation or TS rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. For how to lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position, see p.16, p.18, and p.20. OO If using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, etc.
The Principle of Tilt and Shift Focusing plane (after tilting) Focusing plane (after shifting) Focusing plane Optical 光軸 axis Optical axis Tilt Imaging plane OO By tilting the lens, the lens’ optical axis is tilted with regard to the imaging plane, allowing the focusing plane to be tilted. Shift Imaging plane Imaging plane OO By shifting the lens, the lens’ optical axis is moved in parallel with regard to the image plane, allowing the focusing plane to be moved in parallel.
Tilt Effect Shooting a field of flowers OO Example 1 OO Tilting as shown has the effect of broadening the depth of field. This allows the entire field, from immediately in front to far in the background, to be in focus. OO Example 2 OO Tilting as shown has the effect of narrowing the depth of field. Only flowers immediately in front are in focus, with the rest of the subject being blurred.
Shift Effect Shooting architecture OO If you photograph a subject such as a building with a normal lens, the top of the building tapers away. But by placing the camera parallel to the building and shifting the lens, you can correct this tapering effect. Shooting a mirror OO When you are shooting a reflective subject, you can move the camera to a position where the camera does not appear in the shot and then use shift to take the picture.
1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens 2. Focusing See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. OO Before mounting or detaching the lens, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. OO After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched. OO Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have fingerprints on them may result in faulty connections or corrosion, which may lead to malfunctions.

Turn the shift knob so that the thick line on the shift scale is aligned with the shift index (at a click position). (Fig. 1) Turn the shift lock knob clockwise to lock. (Fig. 2) OO For EOS cameras with built-in flash, the lens may contact the camera while you operate the shift function.
5. Using Rotation By using rotation, the direction of the entire lens can be switched. With the lens mounted on the camera, turn the entire lens while pushing the rotation lock release button toward the mount. Rotation lock release button The rotation mechanism can be turned through ±90°. The lens clicks every 30°, and locks in place in the 0° and ±90° positions. Shift directions when rotation is at 0°. Shift directions when rotation is at 90°. Illustration shows TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO.
Using Rotation OO Before turning the lens for rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. OO Note that your fingers may contact the shift lock knob when turning the lens for rotation. OO For EOS cameras with built-in flash, the lens may contact the camera while you operate the rotation function. OO In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting with rotation locked or at a click position is recommended.
6. Using TS Rotation By using TS rotation, the relationship of the tilt and shift operation directions can be switched from right angle to parallel. With the lens mounted on the camera, turn the tilt mechanism while pressing the TS rotation lock release button toward the mount. TS rotation lock release button The lens clicks at the 45° position, and locks in place in either the right angle or parallel position.
Using TS Rotation OO Before turning the lens for TS rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. OO When tilt and shift are used together in right-angled operation directions, or only either of tilt or shift is used, vignetting by this lens will not occur. OO When tilt and shift are used together in any operation directions other than right-angled, vignetting may occur in the range indicated in gray as shown in the figure below.
7. TS-E MACRO Lens Exposure Setting Since the optical axis shifts when the lens is tilted or shifted, the exposure value may deviate largely with automatic exposure during viewfinder shooting. Either of the following methods is recommended for obtaining an appropriate exposure setting. Exposure setting by Live View shooting Shoot using a Live View shooting exposure value. Regardless of tilt or shift, you can shoot with automatic exposure, including for macro shots.

OO TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO Magnification Effective f/No. Exposure Factor (stops) 1:5 3.
TS-E MACRO Lens Exposure Setting OO Depending on the camera model* and settings, you may not obtain standard exposure or you may obtain uneven exposure. This phenomenon may improve by decreasing the shutter speed. It is recommended that you try shooting while checking results after shooting an image. * • The firmware in the below cameras already corrects this phenomenon. EOS 6D Mark II • Upgrading the firmware in the below cameras will correct this phenomenon.
8. Depth-of-Field Scale Distance scale Depth-of-field scale 9. Infinity Compensation Mark Distance scale Distance index Infinity compensation mark Illustration shows TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO. The depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the plane of focus on the subject that appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by the area between the depth-of-field scale lines below the distance scale. The numbers on the scale are aperture settings.
10. Hood The ES-84 or ET-88 hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Attachment position mark Red dot Button Red dot Attachment position mark Red dot Stop position mark OO Attaching To attach the hood, align the hood’s red attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until it clicks. Illustration shows TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO.
11. Shift Knob Cap Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.19). However, note that for EOS cameras with a built-in flash, the cap may come in contact with the camera when mounting/detaching the lens, shifting the lens, or turning the lens for rotation. Screw (length: 3 mm) Remove the shift knob screw. Mount the cap by squeezing it onto the shift knob, and then fix it in place using the supplied screw.
12. Filters (sold separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. OO Only one filter may be attached. OO Use a Canon circular polarizing filter PL-C B. TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO and TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO: 77mm TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO: 82mm OO Detach the hood when adjusting the polarizing filter. 13.
