T&S Manual Needed

I just bought a used Canon 24mm Tilt & Shift Lens

 

It did not come with a manual and Canon neither has one its any of its websites or

can provide one as a replacement part.

 

I will be happy to purchase (even a photocopy) and / or reimburse any costs to

copy / scan / mail.

 

Any assistance appreciated.

 

I am located in Toronto Canada.

 

PS: Anyone ever tried the Canon teleconverter with the T&S?

I don't have the manual but I tried the canon 2x tele-converter on a 24mm T&S lens and it worked.

There is nothing really interesting in the manual and better reviews cover the lens and its features very well (try here: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/tilt_and_shift_ts-e.html)

 

 

Both Canon TCs work fine but don't report correct appreture and focal length to the camera. No biggie though - it'll still expose fine in auto modes and when using shifts/tilts one should use manual exposure settings. (Note that Canon does not include the T/S lenses on the list of TC compatible optics.)

Try here:

I have used the 1.4 convertor on the 24mm Tilt and Shift and it works fine, even though it's not supposedly compatible.

As noted above, there's not a lot to know apart from tilt/shift principles.

 

In that respect, there's lots of helpful info here, about Nikon's almost-identical design:

...and much more general information here:

Both extenders seem to work fine, though as Michael mentioned, the camera

is unaware of the extender and the indicated <i>f</i>-number isn't

correct. This isn't an issue if you use the camera's internal meter, but

must be accounted for if you use an external meter.

<p>

I agree with Michael that the manual isn't essential reading.

There's been considerable discussion here about TS lenses, so it's worth a

search of the archives. <a

thread</a> had a lot of comments directly applicable to using the lens.

You might also look at my brief overview of the principles involved at

<a href="http://www.eosdoc.com/manuals/?q=Tilt-Shift">http://www.eosdoc.com/manuals/?q=Tilt-Shift</a>.

The links at the end of that article to the

Large Format site, Merklinger, and Bob Wheeler lead to more information

that you probably ever want to know. I particularly recommend QT Luong's articles

<a href="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/how-to-focus.html">How to focus the view camera</a>

and

<a href="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/fstop.html">How to select the f-stop</a>

for a practical introduction to setting up the camera.

Also useful is :

and the follow on page on tilt and tilt/shift combination.

There is an article in the latest Outdoor Photographer, too. "Shoot Like Ansel Adams" is all about using Tilt-Shift and PC lenses.
