a Safety Precautions
● If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a
warm one, condensation may develop on the lens
surface and internal parts. To prevent condensation
in this case, first put the lens into an airtight plastic bag
before taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then
take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the
same when taking the lens from a warm environment
into a cold one.
●
Do not look at the sun or a bright light source
through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in
loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the
lens is especially hazardous.
●
Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not
leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap
attached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating
the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.
● Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a
car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause
thlens to malfunction.
●
●
●
To mount/detach the lens, always move the tilt and
shift scales to “0”. Fingers may get caught, or the
camera may be damaged.
When you tilt or shift the lens, sharp portions of the
tilt or shift mechanism are exposed and care should
be taken to avoid touching these portions.
Do not operate the shift function while operating the
rotation function. You may be injured by having your
fingers caught.

About the Shift Knob Cap
Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.4).
However, for EOS cameras with built-in flash, the cap will come in contact with the camera during
the lens’ mounting/detaching, or during shift/rotation operation. The shift knob cap is recommended
for use with EOS-1, EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, and EOS 5D series.
Mounting screw
(Length 3mm)
Remove the shift knob

Mount the cap by squeezing it into
the shift knob, and then fix it using
the supplied screw.
To remove the cap, remove the
screw and pull out the cap.
The screw (length 2.2mm) originally in the shift knob cannot be used to
keep the shift knob cap in place. Always use the supplied screw.

Focus a TS-E lens by turning the focusing ring.
(Shos cannot be taken using the auto focus.)
● When mounting or detaching the lens, always
ensure that the tilt and shift scales are set to the
“0” position.
● After detaching the lens, place the lens witthe
rear end up to prevent the lens surface and
contacts from getting scratched.
● After using tilt or shift, readjust the focus.
● The distance scale is only valid when the tilt
scale is set to the “0” position.
● If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have
fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty
connections can result. The camera and lens
may not operate properly.
For cameras which allow Live View shooting,
focusing using the LCD monitor’s magnified image
is recommended.
● If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on
them, clean them with a soft cloth.
● If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust
cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount
index and the ꢀ index of the dust cap, and turn
clockwise. To remove it, reverse the order.
ENG-8
3. Tilt Function
Tilting inclines the lens relative to the image plane. When the tilt scale is set to the “0” position, the
focusing and imaging planes are parallel. However, tilting puts the focusing plane at an angle to the
imaging plane.
● Example 1
● Example 2
To shoot so that all of an extensive subject is in focus, you must normally use a small aperture to
obtain a large depth of field. But tilting allows you to keep all of the subject in focus even when there
is insufficient depth of field (Example 1). Or, by tilting in the opposite direction, you can focus on a
specific part of the subject (Example 2).

To keep the tilt scale locked in the “0” position, slide
the tilt lock button in the direction of “LOCK”, then turn
the tilt lock knob in the direction of the arrow shown in
Step 3.
When you tilt the lens, sharp portions of the tilt
mechanism are exposed and care should be
taken to avoid touching these portions.
Turn the tilt lock knob in the direction of the
arrow to lock the amount of tilt for the shot.
ENG-10
4. Shift Function
Shifting moves the optical axis of the lens in parallel off the center of the imaging plane.
Shift can be used to good effect in the situations shown below.
● If you photograph a subject such as a
building with a normal lens, the top of
the building tapers away. But by placing
the camera parallel to the building and
shifting the lens, you can correct this
tapering effect.
● When you are shooting a reflective
subject, you can move the camera to a
position where the camera does not
appear in the shot and then use shift to
take the picture. This lets you keep the
camera out of the shot without having
to change the shot composition.

When you shift the lens, sharp portions of the shift mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to
avoid touching these portions. For EOS cameras with built-in flash, there may be contact with the lens while
you operate the shift function.
● With large amounts of shift, the amounts of peripheral light at the top and bottom or left and right sides of
the screen may differ, so shooting with a small aperture is recommended.
● The shift operation will be easier if the supplied cap is mounted on the shift knob (p.6).
ENG-12
5. Rotation
The rotation function enables you to change the direction of tilt or
shift by rotating the tilt-shift mechanism.
With the lens mounted on the camera, push the rotation lock release
button towards the mount and then turn the tilt-shift mechanism.
● The rotation mechanism can be rotated through 90°. The lens clicks every
30° and locks in place in the 90° position.
● When rotating the lens, set the tilt and shift scales to the “0” position.
● Note that rotating the tilt-shift mechanism quickly while pressing on the
rotation lock release button may cause the shift lock knob to strike your
fingers.
● Do not operate tshift function while operating the rotation function.
You may be red by having your fingers caught.
● For EOS cameras with built-in flash, there may be contact with the lens
while you operate the rotation function.
In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting while
rotation is locked, or shooting per click position is recommended.
ENG-13
Changing the Operation Direction of Tilt and Shift (TS rotation Function)
By using the TS rotation function,
the relationship of the tilt and shift’s
operation direction can switch from
right angle to parallel.
Press the TS rotation lock release
button in the mounting direction while
the lens is mounted on the camera,
and then turn the tilt component.
When the tilt and shift are used in a parallel direction,
vignetting will occur in the areas marked in gray in the
following table.

The depth of field is the distance in front of and
behind the plane of focus on the subject that
appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated b
the area between the depth-of-field scale lines
below the distance scale.
The nfrared index corrects the focus setting
hen using monochrome infrared film. Focus on
the subject in MF, then adjust the distance
setting by moving the focusing ring to the
corresponding infrared index mark.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.
● The depth-of-field scale is only valid when the
tilt scale is set to the “0” position.
● The depth-of-field scale is an approximate
indicator.
● The infrared index position is based on a
wavelength of 800 nm.
● Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s
instructions when using infrared film.
● Use a red filter also when you take the picture.
