All perspective-control and tilt–shift lenses are manual-focus prime lenses, but are quite expensive compared to regular prime lenses. Some medium format camera makers, such as Mamiya , have addressed this problem by offering shift adapters that work with the maker's other prime lenses.
The tilt and shift functions cannot be independently rotated. The lens is supplied with these functions at 90° to each other (e.g., providing tilt and lateral shift); they can be changed to work in the same directions (e.g., providing tilt and rise/fall) by removing four screws, rotating the front of the lens 90°, and reinstalling the screws.
The Canon TS-E 17 mm f / 4L is a tilt-shift, ultra-wide-angle prime lens that provides the equivalent of the corresponding view camera front movements on Canon EOS camera bodies. Unlike most other EF-mount lenses, it does not provide autofocus.
The TS-E 24 mm f / 3.5L II lens provides four degrees of freedom, allowing ±8.5° tilt with respect to the film or sensor plane and ±12 mm shift with respect to the center of the image area; [1] each movement can be rotated ±90° about the lens axis.
The TS-E 50 mm f / 2.8L MACRO was the first lens from Canon which combining Macro and tilt-shift. It was announced together with a series of lenses, the TS-E 90 mm f/2.8L MACRO and the TS-E 135mm f/4L MACRO, which introduced the same features.
Tilt and swing are movements available on most view cameras, often on both the front and rear standards, and on some small- and medium format cameras using special lenses that partially emulate view-camera movements. Such lenses are often called tilt-shift or "perspective control" lenses.
Canon offered seven specialty lenses for the FD mount. The 35mm f / 2.8 Tilt-Shift lens is a perspective control lens which includes controls to shift the lens off-axis by ±11mm for perspective control. In addition to shift, it may be tilted ±8 degrees for depth of field control; both movements are possible simultaneously.
Canon has two further types of lenses compatible with the EF mount: Tilt-shift and the 1-5x Macro lens, which are not designated EF, but TS-E and MP-E respectively. TS stands for Tilt-shift while MP stands for macro-photo. These types of lenses are not designated EF as they are manual-focus only lenses.
