But if you are going to buy it - or any camera gear - DON"T BUY FROM desertcart! This lens - sold BY desertcart (not another source) - arrived with no packing. The shipping box was just deep enough to hold the box from Canon, was about twice as wide as it need to be. The empty side was badly crushed, indicating that the shipping box was under something heavy. And there was NO bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts, etc. desertcart changed the game, but no longer a good choice! Review: Excellent for Architectural Interior Photography - Canon's TS-E 17mm f/4L is a fantastic lens for architectural photography; especially interiors with smaller tight spaces. I am often asked which Canon wide angle tilt-shift lens to purchase (first), so here are some thoughts: 1. The TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II is slightly sharper and better corrected against chromatic aberration. Another asset for the 24mm is that is much easier to use with filters (I use the Lee Foundation kit with 4" x 6" gradient neutral density (GND) filters). The 24mm is my go-to tilt-shift lens and I prefer it for landscapes. But, when I need a wider field of view, especially for architecture, I regularly reach for the TS-E 17mm f/4L lens. 2. Although the 24mm tilt-shift is in some ways better, the TS-E 17mm f/4, might be the best tilt-shift to start with for any one of three reasons: 1. You plan to shoot interiors, 2. You plan to shoot cityscapes with tall highrise buildings (shooting downtown NY or Chicago for example), 3. You supplement your purchase with a Canon 1.4x EF Extender III. Extenders work beautifully with Canon's tilt-shift lenses, and a TS-E 17mm f/4L used in conjunction with a 1.4x extender will produce a 24mm focal length. One final note to those considering this lens: The bulbous nature of the front element makes using filters a challenge. But, thanks to Fotodiox, you can use a circular polarizer and neutral density filters with this lens with their "WonderPana" filter system, which they have made custom fit to this lens (they also have WonderPanas for other bulbous lenses, like Canon's excellent EF 14L f/2.8L II). The WonderPana simply attaches to the TS-E 17mm f/4L exactly the same way the lens cap snaps on. A brilliant design by Fotodiox! I still can't use GND filters with the lens, but between the the 1.4x Extender III and the WonderPana system, I can mostly replicate the TS-E 24mm with the TS-E 17mm. I still prefer having and using both, which I do, but knowing these things might be helpful for those struggling with the dilemma of either starting with a TS-E 17 vs the TS-E 24mm. ## Features - Tilt and shift lens compatible with all Canon EOS cameras; ultra wide 17mm focal length - High-precision lens elements for low distortion and high resolution; +/- 6.5 degrees Tilt and +/-12mm Shift - Aspherical and UD lens elements minimize chromatic aberration - Circular aperture for creative, blurred highlights - Floating internal focus mechanism delivers high-image quality throughout focus range ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001TDL2OA | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,551 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Brand | Canon | | Built-In Media | Instruction Book, Lens Case LP1219, One Year Limited Warranty Card, TS-E 17mm f/4L Lens, Unit Option Cap, Wrist Strap WS-DC7 | | Camera Lens | Canon 17mm TS-E F4 L Tilt-Shift Lens | | Camera Lens Description | Canon 17mm TS-E F4 L Tilt-Shift Lens | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Models | All Canon EOS models | | Compatible Camera Mount | Canon EF | | Compatible Devices | Mirrorless Camera | | Compatible Mountings | Canon EF | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 33 Reviews | | Exposure Control Type | Manual | | Focal Length Description | 17mm | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013803108606 | | Image stabilization | Digital | | Item Weight | 820 g | | Lens | Tilt Shift | | Lens Coating Description | Ultra-Wide Angle | | Lens Design | Prime | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 17 millimeters | | Lens Mount | Canon EF | | Lens Type | Tilt Shift | | Manufacturer | Canon Cameras US | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3553B002 | | Maximum Aperture | 4 f_stop | | Maximum Focal Length | 17 millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 22 f_stop | | Minimum Focal Length | 17 millimeters | | Model Name | TS-E 17mm f/4L | | Model Number | 3553B002 | | Model Series | TS-E | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 8 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Real Angle Of View | 104 degrees | | UPC | 013803108606 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Camera Lens Description:** Canon 17mm TS-E F4 L Tilt-Shift Lens - **Compatible Mountings:** Canon EF - **Focal Length Description:** 17mm - **Lens Type:** Tilt Shift ## Images ![TS-E 17mm f/4L UD Aspherical Ultra Wide Tilt-Shift Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810bdf0f3bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lens, but you should know........ *by D***K on July 21, 2023* It's a great lens.

I plan to buy the Nisi S5 filter system to use with this lens. You can add a polarizer, and ND filters to this lens. I adapt this lens to my Sony A7Riv and my Fuji GFX 100s the image quality on these 60mp and 102mp is superb. It also gives metadata and I can change the aperture in camera with the adapters. If you love to take landscape photos the tilt shift features are incredible. The lines are much straighter and perspective is controlled.
