Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, Canon TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO, and Canon TS-E135mm
f/4L MACRO are tilt-shift lenses* designed for EOS cameras that allow macro shooting up to 0.5
times magnification.
Camera Firmware
Please use the latest version of firmware with the camera in use. For details on whether the
firmware is the latest version or not, and for details on updating the firmware, please check the
Canon website.

Safety Precautions
Precautions to ensure that the camera is used safely. Read these precautions thoroughly. Make sure all details are
observed in order to prevent risks and injury to the user and other people.
Caution Details pertaining to risks that may result in injury.
 Do not leave the camera in locations subject to high or low temperatures. This may result in the camera becoming
excessively hot or cold, which may cause burns or other injuries when touched.
 Do not insert your fingers inside the camera. Failure to observe this may result in injury.
 Before mounting or detaching the lens, or turning the lens for rotation or TS rotation, always lock the lens in a
non-tilted and non-shifted position. Not doing so may cause injury.
 When tilting or shifting the lens, avoid touching protrusions on the tilt mechanism and shift mechanism. Not
doing so may cause injury.
Caution Details pertaining to risks that may result in damage to property.
 Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the lens to
malfunction.
 Do not turn knobs forcefully. This may cause malfunction.
 When mounting or detaching the lens or turning the lens for rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted
position. Not doing so may cause malfunction.
Warning Details pertaining to risks that may result in death or serious injury.
 Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or single-lens reflex camera. Doing so could result
in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous.
 Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached.
This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment
unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changes
or modifications should be made, you could be required to
stop operation of the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

General Precautions
Handling Precautions
 If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and
internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking
it from a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the same when
taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.
 Please also read any lens related handling precautions listed in your camera’s instruction manual.
Shooting Precautions
 To ensure that you use the lens’ functions effectively, it is recommended that you shoot in the following
conditions.
• Use an EOS camera with about 100% viewnder visibility
• Use Live View (with onscreen grid)
• Use an external monitor
• Use a tripod
• Use a matte with grid focusing screen
• Use a stand-alone exposure meter
 Since only a hood is not very effective in cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens, also using a piece of
cardboard is recommended.
 If using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens
Optimizer, etc.)*, shooting with rotation or TS rotation locked or at a click position is recommended.
* Supported cameras: EOS 6D Mark II (As of August 2017)

TS-E MACRO Lens Features
Canon TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, Canon TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO, and Canon TS-E135mm f/4L
MACRO have the following features.
 Range of tilt is ±8.5° for TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, and ±10° for TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO and
TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO.
 Range of shift is ±12 mm.
 Macro shooting at up to 0.5 times magnification when tilted or shifted is possible.
 Rotation allows the direction of the entire lens to be changed.
 TS rotation allows the tilt operation angle to be changed in regard to shift.
These features can be combined to allow a diverse range of expressive possibilities.
