Wow! That lens is incredible. Totally beats the original TS-E 24 in terms of optical performance!





Looks awesome, too []

TS lens are just so weird and fun, and like most I wish I could afford one just to play around with it. But after spending all my hard earned cash on a 70-200 2.8 IS, I'm poor for a bit

Bryan, you have an awesome review. I like yours better than the DPR's one (http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/canon_24_3p5_tse_c10/) since yours has CA/IQ/flare comparison between I/II and other WA's. Once I receive my order, I hope I can find some useful info to share.





Meanwhile, for those who like to know more about tilt/swing in practice:

Very practical information on tilt/swing in general.

I'm working on a deal to do work for a LARGE architectural firm, so maybe.

[Oren]

Is just me or this lens is MUCH sharper than the others in comparison?

[Chuck Lee]

Bryan,


Well done.Love the bee. After seeing your IQ comparison it looks like the MSRP is well justified.


I lookedtwiceand the only omission I could find would be distortion reporting. When looking at a wide prime for architectural use distortion is very important. Excuse me if I missed something about it in your report.


We had a thread discussion about taking photos of models, dioramas and props. This, obviously, would bea suberb lensfor that application. Unfortunately, the OP's on a very tight budget.


Does anyone know what or which TS-E lens Vincent Laforet uses for his unusal landscapes/surfscape? i.e. Turns life size airport into a diorama.


I've been eyeing TS-E lenses for around 9 months now. I just did a night shot of a house for a local builder with the optimistic hope of doing more work for him. I'll have to see how things work out before I take the plunge and invest in a TS-E.

[canonmonster]

both the new ts-e are sharp been using it for about 2 months now, to make things miniture.
