Canon TS-E 17 or 24mm?? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So i thin i'm finally going to pull the trigger on a tilt shift lens. I do a lot of interior architectural photography and a Tilt shift lens would be a great addition. I generally use my 17-40L for the interior stuff which distorts the perspective, which makes me lean towards the 17mm TS-E. But I'm not sure I will be really happy with the 17mm for any other type of usage ie landscapes. It's really wide. Anyone have any experience they can share?

i think george or barry had one of these. just go with the 17. stop being a pansy

going with the 24mm for now. 17mm won't take any filters and I can't find one that is used for a decent price.

I've seen people use UWA Matte Boxes with the bulging front element on the 17MM TS-E but at that point your stepping into a whole new ball game in terms of filter pricing. I <3 24mms though so good stuff.

The 24mm arrived this morning. So far so good. I think it will do just fine.
Excuse my messy desk.
