Pros: Cons: Heavy Other thoughts: The best usage: a landscape with horizontal tilting for the better DOF. The agngle of the tilt is very small for the real architechture works. Miniatures - toys for no more than 10 pictures, after that you realize that it is not series.

As an amateur, this lens is challenging, but rewarding too. The shift effect makes panoramas and architectural shots with nice straight lines both very easy. Getting expanded depth of field shots is tricky, mainly due to focusing at both the far and near points while micro–adjusting the tilt...

I wanted a lens that would give me edge to edge sharpness with little or no distortion ,and that I'd be able to continue using my Lee Filters,this is it! I have the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens , while its a great lens.

With both tilt and shift movements, as a wider version of the earlier TS 35mm f/2.8 SSC FD, the original Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 caused quite a stir when introduced in the early 90's.

I have owned this lens since it was first released a few years ago, and it is permanently attached to one of my 5D MKII's. As a dedicated architectural photographer, I use this lens for 90% of my commissioned work.

Superior build quality; Super-sharp images

The main reason to bought this product was the capability for perspective correction when shooting architecture, I do a lot of this kind of photography. This feature is nice and works very well. Saves me a lot of time in photoshop. Barrel distortion is fine too.

PMA 2009 was a show distinctly light on noteworthy announcements, but one of the most technically interesting developments may well have slipped under the radar of many enthusiast photographers.

Excellent central sharpness even at F3.5; Minimal chromatic aberration; Almost no visible distortion; Extensive and highly flexible perspective control movements; Exceptional build quality

Soft corners when shifted (need to stop down to F11 - F16 to achieve best sharpness; Expensive

I was looking for a lens which was flexible enough to shoot buildings and landscapes, without having to correct for keystone errors. Well the only way to go is to get a TS-E lens. I read the reviews and feedback from users, and this is THE 24mm to get.

Extremely sharp to the corners; no CA; low distortion; tilt & shift

Cost; large filters

Now it's not overly surprising that the lens is capable of providing a very high quality based on a neutral shift setting. But what about the extremes then ? There is, of course, a decrease in image quality when shifting the image frame towards the edges of the image circle.

It has very precise depth, it definitely enhances creativity potentials. Definitely worth every cent spent on it!

Independent shift tilt; it has a great built quality with nice features; extended shifting capabilities

82mm filter and a very bulky lens cap and the lens is a bit heavy
