Northlight Images: Review of the TS-E 90mm 2.8L Macro

Keith from Northlight has completed his review of the TS-E 90mm Macro Tilt-Shift Lens.

  • One UD Element, One Aspherical Element
  • Air Sphere Coating

  • Mount Rotation: +/- 90°
  • Locking Tilt-Shift Mechanism
  • Minimum Focusing Distance: 1.3'
  • Maximum Magnification: 0.5x

Keith had this to say about the lens (I think he liked it ;) ):

Without quantitative testing I can’t be sure, but the TS-E90mm F2.8L Macro is probably the sharpest lens I’ve ever tested (it could have been the TS-E135, but I’m not quibbling).

The build quality is superb, and putting it next to the old TS-E90 you really do get a feel for progress in lens construction. It is well up to its ‘L’ designation and red ring.

If I have a complaint, it’s the limited throw of the focus ring, which is simply too short for easy manual focus, especially at non-macro distances.

Optically, I couldn’t fault the new lens, it’s performance at f/2.8 is exceptional, with only vignetting to really take note of.
