GF 110 TS vs Canon EF 135 TSE ..... anyone with experience on both of these ?

[jwest]

I supposedly found a new Canon 135 TSE...we'll see what shows up from "sold by Amazon". LOL.

I am highly skeptical seeing as these are all but gone from the market in new form and hardly out there in used form as well. I expect this to be new but grey market, though not sure how I'll know..? Or, some total BS refurbished but not listed as such. I've opened enough new canon that I know how it should be even down to the way the wrapping is done and how the booklet and registration card is placed.

Anyway, I may also at some point get the GF 110 as it will be a nice slot between the 90 and 135 tse lenses to complete my set of shift lenses 15, 17, 20, 24, 30, 50, 90, 110, 135 with the worst gap at 70 where if it were easy to do, and had the quality, the Pentax 67 75 PC would be cool. Should have kept the one I had and the 67 II because those were fun to use.

@diggles maybe you or you have seen such a comparison ?

I've never tried the TS-E 135mm, but I would expect it to be quite good. Here is a post on the forum that compares it to the APO Digitar 150n, Digaron-S 100:

Comparision: Canon TS-E 135 mm, digaron-S 100, Apo Digitar 150 mm on 100c and Fuji gfx100s

I made some weeks ago a comparision of some lenses on newest 100 MP cameras and would like to share it here. I think it will interesting for other people also.

Not sure if you've seen this article before about using the Canon TS-E lenses with the Alpa FPS, but it illustrates the image circles of each:

What I've been using for the 70mm gap is a SMC Pentax A 645 75mm with a Kipon shift adapter. I don't use it a ton, but am always happy to have it when needed.

You must be using your TS lineup with a GFX camera?

I have both - the 135 is very good, but will start vignetting around 8mm of shift, maybe a bit less on the GFX 100II

The 110 is maybe a little more sharp, but only maybe... but will shift 15mm with no loss of detail.

The 135 can be a little difficult to focus since the focus ring is way to sensitive in my opinion - almost, brief on the focus ring and it's out of focus.

The 110 much easier.
