Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Canon TS-E 45mm on 5D MK II and 7D
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens to take advantage of the ability to alter the depth of field for landscape with tilt and create seamless panoramas. I was skeptical this lens would have enough resolution to keep up with both my 5D MK II and 7D but those concerns were quickly put to rest. This lens is -sharp- on both cameras with just a very small touch of chromatic aberation in really glarey conditions on the 7D.
So, on the 5D MK II I have a 45mm lens while on the 7D I have the equivalent of a 72mm lens. I guess that means I bought 2 $650 lenses ;)
On my eye level tripod if I just level the camera and dial in a little under 2 degrees of tilt the focal plane runs parallel to the ground which makes getting the depth of field one wants for landscape a snap. Just keep in mind the DoF runs in a vertical wedge with the narrow end at your feet to watch for DoF in the vertical direction. Live View with depth of field preview and 100% zoom is your friend for checking critical sharpness.
Only caveat is I would NOT recommend this lens if your camera doesn't have live view. Live view really is essential for working with this lens in my opinion.
Also, there is an excellent tutorial on:

Description of Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
With a Canon TS-E lens, you can control the angle of the plane of focus and the picture's perspective.
The effects of large-format camera movements can be obtained with TS-E lenses for EOS cameras. Although manual focusing is required, automatic aperture control enables autoexposure and autoexposure bracketing. The tilt and shift axes intersect at a 90° angle. They can be made parallel at an authorized Canon Service Facility (modified at owner's expense).
The normal lens in the TS-E system, and an excellent choice for product shooting and other applications calling for a natural perspective. It allows up to 11mm of shift off-center, and even more impressive, tilting of the front standard up to 8° to modify the plane of focus. Among the TS-E 45mm f/2.8's optical highlights are a floating optical system (focusing down to 1.3 ft/0.4m), and a precise rear-group focusing system.
