- Fantastic lensRock solid, razor sharp, virtually no distortion or CA. But understand why you need one before you buy one. If you won't use a tripod then buy something else and be happier.
- 24 and 17mm T/S aren't useful.The lens does two things that are practically unrelated, and both of which are borderline useless in the extreme wideangle.
- Fantastic lensDarn near the sharpest lens I've ever used. No CA, no distortion. Extreme shift gets fuzzy at the edges, but you can work around with multiple shots if it's critical...
- get to the higher planesI was first a bit skeptical, but after being out in the field and getting used to the endless possibilities of tilting and shifting the focus plane I can't do without it.
- I'll stick with Perspective Correction SoftwarePhysically and optically this lens is about as good as it gets. However, unless the camera and lens are mounted on a tripod, the lens is basically useless. I tried using this lens to photograph audio equipment to sell on ebay but I am forced to get too close. For architecture, I use a monopod so manipulating the lens controls and focus is a pain. I find that my EF 16-35mm F/2.8 L Ver II used with photo editing software containing perspective correction capabilities handles 95% of my needs. Plus, the zoom is fast with autofocus. You just have to remember to back off slightly to allow for the software to cut off sections around the edge.
