It features equidistantly spaced full-stop click-stops and travels 90° from f/2.8 to f/22. The narrow aperture ring is situated behind the focus ring. There is one thing to watch out for: the front element rotates on focusing, so watch out when using a polarizer. This is very similar to the Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8. It travels ~160° from the minimum focus distance (0.30m) to infinity. The focus ring is situated at the front of the lens, runs smooth and without slack and the resistance is very nice. I didn’t check if it is also possible here to modify the lens to have tilt and shift in the same direction, as was the case with the TS-E 24mm 3.5 MKI, TS-E 45mm 2.8 and TS-E 90mm 2.8 Macro. The lens ships with the tilt and shift being at a 90° angle to each other. You can rotate the lens by 180°, so shift and tilt is both possible in every direction, but you cannot easily set any combination of tilt and shift. Unlike Canon’s newer Tilt/Shift lenses (but similar to the Canon TS-E 45mm 2.8) the 35mm has only one point of rotation close to the mount. Regarding Tilt and Shift and what those can be used for best have a look at my article Working with Tilt/Shift lenses. on / starting at $450 (affiliate links) Handling / Build Quality These days this lens can be found used e.g. Maximum Magnification: 1:5.1 (measured).Number of Aperture Blades: 8 (slightly rounded).Field of view: ~64° (diagonally, unshifted).Diameter: ~67 mm (without shift mechanics).This Canon FD 35mm 2.8 TS has the following specifications: SpecificationsĬanon always had the most complete line up when it comes to Tilt/Shift lenses, but interestingly this 35mm was not only the first of Canon’s Tilt/Shift lenses in general it has also never seen a successor. The Canon FD 35mm 2.8 TS was kindly provided by our reader Olaf Leismann for review purposes.
