Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L is an ultra-wide tilt-shift lens designed for demanding architectural work. Its 104° diagonal angle of view lets you frame entire buildings from close range while keeping vertical lines straight and avoiding exaggerated distortion.
I mainly use this lens for cathedrals, churches and contemporary architecture, where precise control of perspective is essential. Mounted on my Nikon Z bodies via a Fringer EF-NZ II adapter, it has become a precision tool for composing images directly in-camera, balancing geometric rigor with a more poetic reading of space.
