Canon TS 35mm F/2.8 S.S.C. Tilt Shift Lens with Both Caps, Tripod Mount, Case, for Canon FD Mount Cameras
Here we have a beautiful Canon TS 35mm F/2.8 S.S.C. tilt shift lens with both caps, Canon tripod accessory, and Canon case. The lens is in excellent condition and is ready to produce another lifetime of fantastic photos.
The Canon TS is a tilt-shift lens, which is a lens that is capable of shifting the lens in relation to the film or sensor plane by varying degrees and tilting to selectively focus. This makes a massive difference in the way buildings and architecture are rendered in the final image, and allows the photographer to choose the plane of focus as one would do in a large format camera.
This type of lens is essential if one is to do any kind of standard architectural shooting. Otherwise, buildings all look as if they're falling away from the camera in the final image. If you're wondering how photographers make buildings look nice and straight, this is it.
The lens is in excellent condition. The glass elements are clean and free of haze, scratches, balsam separation, and fungus. The aperture blades are free of damage and are dry. The focus ring spins beautifully, and the aperture ring (and aperture stop down ring) actuate perfectly. The shift mechanism is smooth and flawless, and the adjuster knob is perfect.
The lens uses Canon's FD mount, which means that it's able to mount to nearly every Canon manual focus film SLR camera. Additionally important, this lens can be easily mounted to today's mirror-less cameras (such as the Sony a7 and Fujifilm's X-series) via inexpensive adapters. If you're unsure if this lens will mount to your camera, just ask, and I'll be happy to help.
This rare specialty lens will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.
