Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II

A couple more shots, still having fun with this lens, even as a straight-up 24mm. I need a darker filter, 3 stops wasn't really cutting it yesterday. I would have liked a bit more motion blur; I was shooting f/11-f/16 to get 1/6. I'm covered in 77mm, but just getting started in 82's.

John, do you have any 82-77mm step down rings? I'm extremely interested to see if or how badly vignetting (or worse, mechanical vignetting) occurs in this situation. One of my favorite landscape filters (ND110) is not offered in 82mm, only as large as 77mm. Indeed all of the filters I own are 77mm, so this is a concern for me to purchase any lens which takes 82mm.

Nope, no step-up ring, just a step-down to 72mm. If I had to guess, shifting/tilting would be an issue with 77mm filters. Since all I have is the one 3 stop, I haven't even tried stacking yet, so I don't how much I can get away with on this lens. I've got a CPL on order, so I'll find out soon.

Great shots in the recent postings!

Just curious.. how are you guys focusing with this lens? Built-in focus confirmation, Live View or upgraded focusing screens?

Live View for me!

And me, it's just akin to using a view camera!

Thanks for your responses. And so it begins.. the saving of funds for a TS-E 24mm II

Hello,

Here's an image taken a couple of weeks ago after fresh snow at about 8.30pm; its a couple of 15 second 1600ISO exposures on the 5Dmk2. I used vertical shift to keep the tower upright and also get the extra foreground. I've only recently returned to using a DSLR, having been using a 5x4 view camera recently. It was the introduction of this new lens that was one of the deciding factors to get the 5D - I think the live view has really made T/S lenses a joy to use on a DSLR.

Really enjoying this lens

Jonathan

I wonder how star trails would look with a shifted image?

In what way exactly?

straight...

Great, thanks. Could you do something exactly like that, but with every tree
everywhere in the frame sharp and the front tree still closer to the lens?

The other examples just show the fg/bg but your front objects
are not close to the lens, they are on the ground.

An ideal example is a low angle landscape shot with a flower basically
sitting on the lens. Everything sharp in the frame staying, let's say at f8

Even though the lens is created for this kind of benefits, can't find
any good examples anywhere.

I don't think it's possible with a subject sitting on the lens, low angle. You have limitations. When you are too close to the ground, the maximum of 8 degrees tilt won't be enough.
It explains why you can't find an example of it.
