Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 L Tilt-Shift Lens

This is the state-of-the-art lens for architectural photography that offers unparalleled perspective control. Shift movements correct the trapezoidal effect seen in pictures taken of tall objects, so as not to distort the subject like large rooms or home exteriors. Ordinarily when we tilt the camera with a regular lens on it, parallel lines converge, and trees and other elements in the frame can look like they're falling backward This is truly a perspective correction lens that allows us to get closer to the subject without distortion. Back in the day, Ansel Adams used his View Camera to achieve similar results with his view camera!

16-35

Architecture and real estate photography often have large subjects that require wide angle lenses. When mounted on a one of our full frame dslr's, this lens can cover virtual any room or exterior. We have taken over 100,000 images with this lens and it has served us extremely well. In 2011, we are placing the the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 tilt shift lens into service as our primary Architectural lens

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens

tilt shift

This is an exceptional telephoto zoom lens sports aconsistent wide apertures and performs flawlessly in low lighting conditions. This lens doesn't go on all assignments due to its weight and size however when we need a "money shot" of a sunset view over Folsom Lake or a nighttime panorama of the city lights in the Sacramento Valley, we make room in the bag for this classic Canon pro lens.
