What is a 24mm tilt-shift lens used for?
A tilt-shift lens allows you to have both your subjects in focus. The shift function allows you to minimize distortion (common when using wide angle lenses) when you are shooting from a high or low angle. It also helps correct vertical line convergence (tilting buildings).
What is a tilt-shift lenses for Canon?
A tilt-shift lens (also called a perspective control lens) changes the position of a lens in relation to a camera’s image sensor. When the lens tilts so that it is no longer parallel to the camera’s image sensor, it shifts the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.
Should I buy a tilt-shift lens?
You absolutely do need to shoot with a tilt-shift lens. I appreciate the fact that tilt-shift lenses are expensive but they are definitely worth the money. Renting lenses for specific projects is a great way to start and it’s something that I did too.

Tilt-shift lenses are useful for perspective correction, maximizing/minimizing depth-of-field and panoramic photography, and one (or several) tilt-shift lenses may be ideal additions for your kit.
What is the tilt shift effect?
The tilt effect alters the focal plane of the image, but the shift effect alters an image’s perspective. With the Shift knob, you can move the lens up and down or side to side on the body of the camera. As the lens moves, the image plane moves too, so that the sensor records different areas of the total image.
