About This Lens
About This Lens
This lens features shift and tilt mechanisms that can be used to control perspective. The
optical axis of the lens can be shifted to reduce the eff ects of perspective when photo-
graphing subjects at an angle or tilted to bring both foreground and background into
focus without stopping down aperture.
A
Shift
“Shift” shifts the optical axis of the lens away from the center of the frame, allowing
photos to be framed anywhere in the image circle. It can be used to reduce the ef-
fects of perspective when photographing buildings from low angles or to change the
composition without angling or moving the camera.
Camera angled up
Camera pointed straight
ahead
Lens shifted with camera still
pointed straight ahead
A
Tilt
The optical axis of the lens is normally perpendicular to the focal plane. “Tilt” deliber-
ately angles the optical axis so that objects at diff erent distances from the camera can
be kept in focus without stopping down aperture, reducing depth of fi eld and ensur-
ing that the background remains blurred.

Exposure
Exposure
Although autoexposure will produce optimal results with the lens neither shifted nor
tilted, any subsequent shift or tilt will change exposure. Meter exposure with no shift or tilt
and make adjustments as you shoot.

Focusing
Focusing
Focus by rotating the focus ring. The focus distance indicator shows the focus distance when
the tilt scale is centered; check focus in live view whenever possible and be sure to refocus
after adjusting shift or tilt. When using the viewfi nder, note that the electronic rangefi nder
does not give accurate results when the lens is shifted or tilted.
Depth of Field
Depth of fi eld can be previewed using the camera’s depth-of-fi eld preview feature. A
rough approximation is also provided by the focus distance indicator and by the depth-
of-fi eld indicator to either side of the focus distance mark, but note that these distances
are intended as a guide only and may not be completely accurate. Due to the eff ects
of depth of fi eld and other factors, distant objects may be in focus at focus distances
under ∞.
