WTB Canon 45 TS-E

Charlie Gast

I am looking for a lens to do shift stitches. After looking at the possibility of a nikkor 35 PC or 35 distagon PC with adaptor I am thinking about sticking with the canon line. I had the 24 TS-E and did not find it so good in sharpness and CA when shifted. I may just get a 45 TS-E, use it on my Italy trip and sell it when I get back

Thanks for any reponses

Thanks, Andy.

I now see that B&H has them in. Canon missed the boat though. I am going with a PC-NIKKOR 35 instead. Weighs about half as much, cost less than half as much and from what I have gathered from other pixel peepers it performs better.
As for the tilt I will wait for an affordable view camera type bellows attachement I can put the 1ds2 on for scheimflug antics.:D
I also favor 35mm over 45mm for my intended purpose of shift stitching.
I stumbled onto it when searching for the 45tse
