^Nice! I think you'll eventually get that 17 TS.

I'd love to, if I'm honest. Couple things keep me from it though...

1.) Unable to use filters. I love long exposures using my ND filters, so that's a big negative.

2.) Too close to my 24 to justify the large cost. I'm sure I would definitely use the 17, but the 24 goes pretty wide with the movements when I can use a tripod.

All that being said, yes I would love to have it for sure. I'm quite jealous of you! But at the moment it's the sensible side of me that has won over.

holy cow this lens is ground pounding!

zone555, nice fresh perspective on the flat iron building!

Every picture I see of it is always just the head on view.

Cheers!

Zone555 that first one is awesome. You nailed the focal plane pretty good. #2 does little for the for me.

Thanks for the compliments!

This is one of those lenses I need to use more of. Lots of good inspiration in this thread!

Now that you've given me reasons, how about the Zeiss 21?

Haha you really want me to spend more money, don't you!

The Zeiss is a truly remarkable lens; I just want to make that clear. However, I don't see how I could own it while simultaneously owning the TSE 24, which I have fallen head over heels for. Assuming the TSE 24 didn't exist, and it came down to the 17L or the Zeiss 21 - I'd probably end up with the Zeiss for sensible reasons, but only after going insane whilst trying to make my choice.

We truly live in a wonderful time for WA lenses, don't we?!

Hehe! We definitely live in a great time for wide angle.

Testing! Testing!

Ah, Lake Wheeler and Penny Rd! Gorgeous shot! I can't believe Autumn is finally impressive in Raleigh - after I move. Figures. This location really takes me back, and the TSE work really does it justice. Thanks for posting this one.
