TS-E 17mm f/4L (Delivery will take 6 weeks)

TS-E 17mm f/4L is the widest lens in the Canon TS-E lens line up. Featuring a newly developed 18 lens elements in 12 groups design, TS-E 17mm f/4L employs one high-precision, large-diameter GMo aspherical lens element to minimizes distortion and achieve high resolution image quality even at the periphery of the frame. It also contains 4 Ultra-low Dispersion lenses (UD lenses) to effectively minimize chromatic aberration which tends to occur in wide angle lenses. TS-E 17mm f/4L also incorporated the latest Canon SWC (Sub-Wavelength Structure Coating) which minimizes flare and ghosting prone to wide angle lenses caused by light entering at a large incident angles. Lastly, TS-E 17mm f/4L also features a floating mechanism to further reduces chromatic aberration over the entire range of focusing distances.

The TS-E 17mm f/4L features a large image circle of 67.2mm, providing an astonishing tilt capability of ±6.5° and a shift range of up to ±12mm while minimizing vignetting. The TS-E 17mm f/4L now equipped with a new and special TS rotating feature which significantly expands the operability and capability of the lens by allowing users to freely combine tilting and shifting orientation over a continuous range of 90°.

The tilt/shift and rotating units in TS-E 17mm f/4L are made with aluminum die cast which greatly improve the lens' strength and durability while maintaining compactness and lightweight. The tilt/shift controls and locks have also been enlarged to improve operability. The lens also includes a shift knob cap that improves shift operability when installed. Tilt-locking mechanism can firmly lock the lenses in a zero-tilt position for optimal quality during ordinary use.
