Hi

am considering purchasing a Canon 24mm TSE (Tilt & shift) lens for landscape/architecture + a bit of creative fun. I was wondering if anyone has used it for macro photography and if so they recommend using it with either the EF25II or EF12II extension tubes.

Thanks, Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

i investigated doing this for a little while, but the £900 price tag of the lenses put me off. I then went on to discover that the effect can be created fairly easily in Photoshop. Take a look in my PF there are a couple of shots there that i think look not a million miles away from shots done with a dedicated lens.

if its not something you are going to do regularly then it is a bit of an expensive outlay. Obviously some shots work better than others when doing it the software way but they may give you an idea.

Kind Regards
Dave
