Hi, I've just joined this community.

I need opinion from you who have been using TSE-24 and EF-14 MkII, because I have planned to buy one of them in next month to help me in my work,

I do have TSE-90 and know its advantage and do have EF16-35.

I do lot of architecture photographs in my country, I used 16-35 a lot, though sometime I found in smaller room, It is not enough and always stitch from several pictures and get used to it though the distortion still make me to work harder.

Do you think it's best for me to buy EF-14 MkII to cover wider area, but how about the distortion? have anyone used this lens and how the result?

As in my opinion TSE-24 can be useful as I usually work by stitching pictures and can use its advantage to correct the perspective? And I can spare enough money to buy the macro lens that I recently interested in.

Let me know your opinion, pro and cons

Sorry for bad English I have, nice to meet you all

Best regard,

Rudy

I own the 14mm mk2. It's by far my favourite ultra-wide lens that i've used. I use it indoors mostly for industrial photography. although very pricey, it's worth it if you know you're going to be using it a lot.

The first image is a 100% crop of an image i took with it.

Wow, I see the big picture in the link and it seem it does have only a little distortion. You didn't do any fixing to the distortion, did you? if you didn't, it must really great for such ultra wide lens to have only little distortion.

thanks

Can't help but I'll tell you this, I want both!

 

I think I'd get the 14mk2 first.

Distortion? I call it character. Leave it unless it is for a picky client.

Yeah, I want both to, but need to be wise to spend money.

Yeah, some client may call the distortion the oldies effect. Don't know why they call it oldies? and the wide angle picture without distorion they call it modern one? hahaha, that's my country.
