So any regrets guys? Do you ever wish u still had the 17-40?
Not in the slightest. This lens was a major part of resurrecting my interest in photography. If I could only own one EOS-compatible lens, this one would be it.

After a while I realised I wanted an ultra wide angle that I could take hiking (17-40 was my goto hiking lens previously) as setting up the tripod (sometimes I don't take one either) and shifting to get a wide FOV wasn't always ideal so ended up down the road of the Rokinon 14. However if im out taking landscape shots during the day I will use the 24 TSE 99.9% of the time. For night shots (not stars) I would use the TS-E or the 14 equally depending on what im doing and for night star shots its the 14mm α7R III | Mavic 2 Pro | Osmo Pocket | GoPro Hero 7 Black

Mine arrived late this afternoon. From the couple of quick snaps I've taken it looks really sharp (on a par with my 85mm f/1.2). Hoping to get some trial shots with it tomorrow if the weather is reasonable.
