The lens provides four degrees of freedom , a tilt of ± 8.5 ° and an offset of ± 12 mm relative to the center of the matrix ;. [1] In this case, the tilt and shift mechanism is possible together with a rotation of ± 90 ° relative to the axis of the lens, which allows you to perform a shift in any direction. The second version of the lens was introduced on February 18, 2009. [2] Deliveries began in June 2009. [3] [4]
The ability to simultaneously shift and tilt allows you to simultaneously depict sharp objects located at different distances, without the need to close the diaphragm . The slope provides additional opportunities for correcting perspectives, including in interior and subject photography. At the same time, the tilt disrupts the parallelism of the planes of the sharp image and the frame window, leading to the illusion of a shallow depth of field when shooting a landscape , resembling a picture in macro photography . As a result, the usual urban landscape becomes like a smaller layout.
Considering the 1.6 × crop factor , which is typical for Canon EOS APS-C full-frame matrices, the image angle of these lenses for such cameras will be equal to the image angle of the 38.4 mm focal length lens mounted on 135 format full-frame cameras.

Features
In the TS-E 24 mm f / 3.5L II lens, tilt and shift can be performed independently of each other. This allows you to better control the focal plane, recreating the movement of a widescreen camera. There is no need to unscrew the screw, as in the lens of the first version. SWS and Super Spectra lens coatings suppress glare and spurious reflections.
