24mm Shift lens for architecture ?

compared with the 17 TSE the 24 TSE II has a slightly better resolving power, less distortion & an 82mm filter thread which SL 24-90 owners will find universally useful. the construction/operation of controls has also been slightly updated. the 24 has a very natural fov generally favored by architectural visualisation specialists in their computer renderings.

^^^^^^  Agreed . When deciding which Canon shift lens to buy I looked at the results and decided the 17mm lens' image renderings were / are too extreme for my purposes - thus bought the 24mm.  Have also acquired a s/h Olympus 35mm shift lens but not tried it yet.

A friend of mine has the 24. I didn't get it previously because it has some issues on the Sony A7R2 (my friend uses the A7R1 which is fine). Now I can use it on the SL I'm happy to add one.

I have a TS-E 24 MkII, which I use on 1DX, A7R, and M246 w/EVF (I'm not aware of the issues with the A7RII - What are they?). It is an excellent lens on all three cameras, saving the issue of pre-setting the aperture for the Sony and Leica cameras (not really a major issue for me). With the Sony and Canon cameras, I usually use an iPad for remote focusing and plane of focus.

I would imagine it to be very good on the SL.

 

I shied away from the TS-E 17, because of the (to me) cumbersome pathway for using ND filters.
