I have to ask this question, have you ever used a TSE 17mm ?

If he's looking for something wider than 16mm, and can't afford it...does it matter if he's used one?

It requires an adapter for use on Canon EOS cameras and may have conflicts with the mirrors in some fullframe cameras. On the other hand it will work well on a Sony A7 series fullframe camera with an M or Screw adapter, depending on the model of the lens--totally manual, of course.

I wanted to know, because by the way he said he wouldn't be using all the functions made me think either he doesn't like dragging around a tripod or he has never used a TSE 17mm lens. I love my TSE 17mm for landscape and cars, buildings, and product photography but I hate dragging around a tripod and gimble. So yes, it makes difference to me , if someone isn't willing to pack around a tripod so they could use the tilt shift function then that would be important on which lenses are suggested to other members of this forum. Farmer Yes, for the most part I NEVER have a tripod. I am usually walking, riding my bike or riding the CTA in Chicago and taking along a tripod is just too cumbersome usually. Plus I wouldn't want to pay $2300+ for it since I'd be paying for the Tilt/Shift features. A regular 17mm, wouldn't be that pricey. I may just wait to see what comes of the 11-24mm from Canon or go w/ the Sigma 12-24....if I ever pull the trigger and switch. CanonYouCan wrote in post #17223262 ![]() If I can give you a good hint in advance before ordering : Don't focus too much to get the widest & don't focus on Canon only Check to get the sharpest and/or fastest, quality glass, a good UWA is one of the most difficult lenses to find, I tested/sold many. Out of my testings I can recommend 4 (in descending order): Canon 16-35 f4L IS (best & most expensive) Tokina 17 f4 (cheapest, only on Ebay, but great IQ!) Tokina 16-28 2.8 ATX Pro (heavy, sometimes flare, no filters BUT : corner-corner sharpness and f2.8!!) Canon 17-40 f4L the casual UWA good price/quality but not spectacular sharp Forget the rest, these are the best... Thanks, I had considered the 16-35 and was doing the math ad then noticed A LOT of my shots w/ the Sigma 8-16mm were shot a 8mm, which would be about 13mm on a full frame. I barely had any above 10mm. Plus I am not a great photographer or anything, just a hobby that relaxes my ADHD brain, haha. advaitin wrote in post #17223280 ![]() There is the less used Voigtlander 12mm f5.6.

Sounds like too much extra work for me, haha. More stuff than skill
