Canon TS-E 24mm Tilt-Shift Lens Demo

[Liskowias]

That is just porn.

[JimTBell]

This cheapest I have found for this lens is £800! If you use Photoshop you can correct any picture that you need by using the free transform tool and a very small aperture (f22 or better) when taking the image. Tilt and shift is used to correct converging verticals. True tilt and shift is usually a large format camera use which has the ability to have front and back bellows movements which. Each has to work within the aperture you are using and the depth of focus at the film plane.

Can I trade this for my kidney?

[lightscribe4444]

@engynot lol

[icntube]

What these lenses were designed for and what gives people pleasing results, to them, can be separate things. Do what makes you happy. There are always going to be people out there trying to tell you what you should think/feel/believe; don't buy in to it.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@icntube Well said - feel free to ignore my snobby old photographer attitudes. Seriously. That really is good advice :-)

[BlueShirt7]

press man sounds like a priest of satan. awesome! bought! :)

[miguelgaio]

Sooo....its cheesy to make that toy effect now is it? The things we learn in the name of business...Thats bad news to the average joe that doesnt care too much for comercial photography, oh well.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@miguelgaio I realize it's a popular thing to do and it's great if people have fun with it. But I've watched a lot of photo and digital trends come and go. The toy village tilt/shift effect is definitely one of those trends and yes I do think it's cheesy. What I really wanted to point out is that's not what these lenses were designed for. They were made for for controlling perspective in architectural and product photography.

[miguelgaio]

@PhotographyREVIEW You´re missing the point here, I dont do tilt-shift photography myself, but to call it cheesy ithrough a review video and through comments is just unprofessional.

But then again, Im only one of those guys to whom you´re posting videos for...how important is my opinion to you really?

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@miguelgaio If I didn't give my opinion I'd just be another guy spitting out specs and features on the Web and that's not very useful. I'm more interested in educating than being pleasant. Just because you disagree with me doesn't make my opinion not useful or invalid. In fact, you probably wouldn't have commented if you'd agreed with me and that would have made this page that much less useful and interesting :-)

[miguelgaio]

@PhotographyREVIEW I really thought this channel was about photography reviews....not photography opinions. I gess im wrong then.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@miguelgaio Opinion based on experience is part of a good review. If you just want stats and tables from people who have no photography experience, there are plenty of other sources.

[miguelgaio]

@PhotographyREVIEW What experience? You didnt even displayed photographic examples of what it can do! I gess it is cool to leave it to our imagination.

And to say that tilt-shift photography is a "current trend" is just plain ridiculous, the thing exists for about 40 something years. All you can learn in this video is the principle of tilt-shift lens, nothing more. Dont take this seriously though, we learn from our mistakes, and this is just my personal feedback, I know I am very critic lol ; )

[booturteeth]

@miguelgaio LOL get raped.

[LiewDarWin]

But... Will it blend?

[tartrazine]

Not much of a demo; we didn't see what the results are. All he did was roughly waggled the poor lens around.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@tartrazine I know. That is unfortunate. I asked if I could put it on my camera for photos but they didn't have finished, working lenses yet.

[jeffbrent]

you can get a perfect tilt shift effect using Magic Bullet Looks.

There is no way I would pay $2100+

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@jeffbrent If you want that cheesy toy village look, sure. But the real purpose of a tilt-shift lens is controlling depth-of-field and distortion for technical product and architectural photography. That can only be done with a tilt-shift lens. And if you're good, that kind of work will pay for the lens in one job.

[Madelinehny]

@PhotographyREVIEW That's right, you said it. Nothing beats on camera depth of field control, people who talk about post production don't have the keen eye to tell the difference.

[fffaaabian]

i dont understand how it makes things look miniature, can anyone explain this to me, like the lense moves all around, but i dont understand how or why that makes things look miniature, and i know it does because i've seen some sick vids

[tartrazine]

@fffaaabian When you photograph miniature things, like a model village, you get an exaggerated perspective AND an exaggerated depth of field. TS lenses can give the same effect on real life images if you set them up that way.

[Bluebuthappy182]

I haven't looked it up but i'm guessing that's one expensive lens

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@Bluebuthappy182 You guessed right. B&H is selling it right now for $2100. It's really a very serious, pro lens, most likely to be used by a professional architectural or product photographer. They have become popular in the past couple years with lifestyle and editorial photographers who use them for more emotional effect, though.

[punkdude1668]

that's interesting. i've never heard of these till today

[LversusKira]

I got lucky and found one at a local camera shop. I wanted this lens not because it can blur the image from left to right, but because it is extremely sharp from left to right, and after increasing DOF sharp from front to back also. Even if this thing didn't tilt shift, it would still be worth it. .

[dombower]

tilt swing and shift movements. would love to have a little go with one of those for a day

[pasajero9]

Mas complicado que el cubo de rubik .

[heytisazn]

hahhaha yeah rubik's cube

[Yellowknight888]

Now I can sneak up and take pics at some hot babe at 9 o'click without her knowing.

[chicacecaa]

@Yellowknight888

hahahaha!!  exactly :P my idea too

[OhmawrFidely]

I hate how he says its limited to only surtain people, and its a "trend" its art, and i think things like this are made for everybody to use and has no limit.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

Good points. But the "toy village" titl/shift effect right now really is a trend and it won't last forever. I think it's sort of a cheap effect and wasn't in fact what these lenses were designed for. Sure, you can use them however you want. But they are capable of some very amazing technical things for studio and landscape photography.

[Monket2k]

@OhmawrFidely: I see your point, however when the lens cost over $2000, well, not everyone can have one.

[nerxboy]

this is purely meant to sell to those people who have enough money to spend it on shit they dont need.... no need for such a lens. plus there are so many friction points on this camera i cant even begin...

[showyousomething]

"So basically, i just want to take photos"

[sickbastard151]

where can i buy this lens?

[meggawatts]

amazon is like the only place i found it

[sickbastard151]

tnx

[liquid2026]

your voice is very cool! And this lens is great!

[fistard]

Wonderful camera-erotic show off.

Great reference to the common trend of making kitsch toy-landscape pictures. It is high irony to buy a 3000€ tilt/shift lens when the blur function in Photoshop works equally fine.

As soon as Canon will manage to have there assembly line working again this one goes directly in the pocket.

[RonaldsSulcs]

I want this one!!! or maybe 17mm

[BlackX068]

Now I know what this type of lens does...

[21Kobe12]

tilt and shift...lol

[BlackX068]

Visually.

I understand the technology; however, I don't have the funds to invest in the HANDS ON technology.

This video helped out with a BETTER understanding.

[21Kobe12]

But i think you dont understand things that are ironic.

[BlackX068]

No, I understand that you were trying to be smarty pants instead of understanding what a person was saying.

If you want a pat on the back for knowing how a Tilt-Shift lens works, find someone who cares....

[21Kobe12]

Just relax. Dont take things too serious. Thx

[liquid2026]

Search in Google!

[joseeeeeph1219]

how much is that lens?

[curtissimpson]

i think like 2200
