Hey,

I am wanting to add a tilt shift to my ef lens line up. But like most, one will be all
I can get right now. I shoot a lot of weddings, but still love to get and shoot nature.
any thoughts on the best mm lenght to get 24-45-90(I think theses are the right lenghts
but you get the idea). Which one can I get the most use out of, and any of you have some great wedding shoots you have done with a tilt shift.


Thanks
Vince

I had a chance to loan a Canon 24mm f3.5 TS-E from CPS last October - what a fun lens.

I borrowed it for an architectural shoot, but ended up playing around with it a bit at a wedding...which look place around halloween...and was next to a cemetary...and had a bride and groom all dressed up in clothing from the 1800's...

I also did a bit of street shooting with it in the small PA town where the architectural job was: http://www.pbase.com/j​amisonwexlerphoto/cano​n24tse (external link)

It's a bit pricey for me, since I don't shoot a lot of architecture, but it was really fun to play with!

I just think this would be fun to have. Kinda pricey but that has never stop me before.
I think I am leaning toward the 45mm

Honestly, I would never buy one for use at a wedding. It's too specialized and certainly isn't going to help you take any kind of dynamic shot. You also need to spend more time twiddling with dials when you could be shooting. If I had one on loan to play with like Jamie then sure, I'd give it a shot and have some fun. But I certainly wouldn't buy one for the purposes of wedding photography.

I agree with Lloyd, too much messing about for weddings.
You could always look at a Lensbaby, you get something similar with less time and money.

I am not sure the bride will like the dress blurred out completely.

Also, you can easily achieve the effect by making a gradient blur in photoshop.
