Just got my 17 TS-E today and I've been playing around with it all day on my less than a week old 5D3.

These two are incredible together. The improved LCD display and LiveView, with built in level and grids, makes thing really easy.

Here's a shot at ISO 3200, 10 sec, ƒ11 - this is virtually straight out of the camera, no noise reduction at all, in camera or PP, just a crop.

Awesome details, and the noise pattern is stunning. I can't wait to get real shots in the field with this.

100% crop

Very nice, Todd!

Can't wait to see what you'll produce with that combo once you really get the hang of the 17mm TS-E!

Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever!

I am also very excited to see what kind of pictures you'll be taking. I've loved looking at your photos ever since I joined the forum!

Thanks guys!

Ive never been afraid of using gear before, but with the front end on this lens, I'm a bit nervous. I'm sure that will pass with some time, but right now, I think about it a lot! LOL

Yeah, that bulbous front element is very conspicuous. Hard not to be a little extra careful with it.

I was surprised that you didn't remove the lenscap of the 17mm TS-E for that insurance "gear" photo you took...just to see how cool that front element looks. LOL

Uh oh, I've been procrastinating getting the 5DIII, this post is a major nudge in that direction. People that have not shot the TS-E17 or TS-E24II don't realize what you're saying.

Would you like to buy a vowel?

I can't believe how well the new 5D3 handles high ISO... this is ISO 5000. ;-)a

It just went out of stock at Adorama and B&H. I think we're safe for a while!

hehehe, sorry guys. I am believing more and more that this is definitely a worthy upgrade from the 5D2. The best way I can describe it is it seems like a 1D stuffed into a 5D body.
