TS-E 45mm: Boy, you aint from around here are ya,

This isn't a lens you slap on your camera and go out start shooting, is it.

I don't mind the manual focus. I love it. But tilt, shift, and rotate do weird things.. I can pretty much throw out auto exposure.. I didn't know that.

Truly, this is a lens I will have to learn, study, and seriously play with.

This... is going to be fun.

Pictures later.

at least it doesnt have an "exotic" name... right?

I love MF. Tilt-shift.. eh.. it has it's purposes. I rent when I need it. You're right though, it aint no 24-70.

LOL! Too bad my SUMMARON thread got deleted! We could've had some fun with it.

Tilt & Shift is exotic enough!

this was how i felt when i bought my first UWA lens... 9-18 on a OLY my kid in the front would have a head 2x as big as the kid in the back, who was only 2 feet behind him..

Now..with TS-E, you could prevent such distortion.. I think.

the shift is easy, the tilt requires some reading and experimenting to fine tune.

But exposure kicked my butt... I had several overblown pictures.. thought there was something wrong with the lens.
