TSE lens choose problem

[monster]

Hello

I'm looking for Canon's TSE lens for use in my travel trip and general photography most is to take a picture of my family member.

i love the blur effect from TSE lens so, i decide to buy one from them,

but i cannot make a dicision because i must choose only one.

what to best choice for TSE lens?

24 mm TSE (i think it's too wide maybe i'm not buy this)

so the choice left for

45 mm TSE
90 mm TSE



Thanks

For General photography - I would use the 45 ts-e. the 24 is good for interior/buildings etc., and the one I use. The 90 is good for product/food and offcourse portraits etc. - but may be a bit to long for general photography.

Please keep in mind that Ts-e's are slower to use then normal lenses. Everything is manual, and your camera's lightmeter will not function as you are used to, as the values will differ depending on if the lens tilted/shifted or not.

Cheers,

On what body ? On a APS-C one I would get a 24mm, otherwise the 45mm is more versatile

Good point! - I tend to only think "fullframe" these days, and tend to forget that there are other options

If what you're aiming for is portraiture, the problem with tilt/shift is that no matter how you tilt/shift, you still have a plane of focus, and it's really weird to have it run slanted through a models head. You'd get sharp eyes and sharp ear-lobes.. very distracting.

There are more appropriate ways to achieve selective focus than with tilt/shift for shooting people. Nikon DC (defocus control) and Sony STF (smooth trans. focus) come to mind here. They're aimed at portraiture. I believe Canon's 135/f2.8 SF is similar, though maybe a little longish for general photography..

thanks everybody

i'll use on fullframe sensor body and maybe choice is 90 mm TSE

it seem toy effect is much more impact when use with these lens


Thanks a lot

for FF I would definitely get the 90, it is really the gem out of the 3... for cropped the 45 (I have both).

Also, the 90 can be great for portraiture too... if you think about it more for bringing things *into* focus instead of pushing things out of focus... it is very different.

The 90 is really Leica-class glass IMO.
