Hey all,

Long time i didn't post here.

I would like to buy a tilt shift lens finally, but not sure which one of the two i should get, 17mm or 24mm?

Applications: Interior design, architecture, landscapes, and some still life shots too.

i recently bought the 24. i am still trying to figure out tilt and shift together (members here have pointed me to some good resources) but i will say, it is the sharpest lens i own. i like the fact that the 24 takes a CPL.

Noting that you have "landscape" in your list, the 24mm version is a lot more filter friendly than the 17mm. It's certainly possible with the 17mm but requires a bit of home construction to get something workable.

Ok, i know about the filter issue with 17mm, but i was thinking if most of the time i will not use filters, the only time i will use filters is when i will shoot landscapes at day time and with clouds, but indoors and nightshots and even cityscapes at night i tend not using filters, so it is like 85% i will not be using the filters, but i can see that 24mm getting more votes anyway.
