The Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L is the widest tilt-shift lens made by anyone. Key features include:
The widest tilt-shift lens made by anyone
104° field of view without tilting
12mm of shift and 6.5° of tilt
Floating and rear-element focusing system
Widest Available Tilt-Shift Lens. A very exciting (and expensive) lens, the 1Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L is the widest tilt-shift lens made by anyone. If you aren’t sure what this is, you don’t want it.
104° Field of View Without Tilting. This lens offers a huge 104° field of view without tilting, has a floating and rear-element focusing system, and both aspherical and UD glass to help maintain minimal chromatic aberration. It also has a completely redesigned tilt and shift system that lets you tilt AND shift in any plane, even the same plane. The lens provides up to 12mm of shift and 6.5° of tilt.
No Hood Available. This lens has a very large, protruding front element and no lens hood—not as in we don’t have one, but as in Canon doesn’t make one. This isn’t a lens you want to take into rough conditions unless you like buying $450 front elements.

Amazingly sharp, amazingly wide, absolutely no chromatic aberration, and exceedingly well built. The Canon TS-Es are as good as anything available in the genre. You can tilt, shift, and change the planes of each relative to each other. If you have tilt-shift experience this lets you do remarkable things. If you’re tilt-shift challanged (this would be me) you can still do remarkable things. Once. Then you can spend the next two hours figuring out how you did that.
To be honest, both the 24 f/3.5 and 17 f/4 TS-E lenses are so sharp I sometimes take them in place of another prime to shoot as regular lenses – they’re just that good. And then you can do the tilt-shifty thingamabob and get some really amazing depth of field, slam home a quick panorama, straighten up tall buildings, or just get a very cool effect.

This rental doesn’t include a lens hood because Canon doesn’t make one. This lens has a very large, protruding front element, so we don’t recommend taking it into rough conditions.
