TS-E 24mm II shift to side and up?

Is it possible to shift this lens lets say the maximum to the left and at the same time shifting it to the top? Or do i have to rotate the lens? Is it even possible to shift it in all 4 directions?

You need to rotate the lens - they only shift along one axis, but you can rotate the lens (detents at 30°) to change that axis. With the rotation, the shift coverage area is a circle with the radius defined by the max shift, not a square as you were apparently imagining; it'll cover most of the area that you were thinking about.

Yes, you can only shift back and forth in one axis at a time. However, relative to the body this also means by rotating the lens diagonal to the body one can shift in a diagonal direction. Some older Oly designs that were shift only allowed shifts in horizontal and vertical directions at once. However this is in effect a diagonal shift which the Canon lens can replicate via rotating before shifting.

perhaps the images in this lens review will help

Are you trying to do a shift pano in two directions? this does work by rotating the lens to a diagonal position, maximum shift, then shooting the 4 corners of the pano at 45, 135, 225 and 315 degrees relative to the camera position. Then stitch. 6 position panos can also be done this way.

Nice review thx for the link

No im just wondering if i could do it in case i need a wider angle than the FOV of 24mm. What FOV can it mimic at the max shifts? About what a 20mm gives or how much?

If you mean AOV, not FOV, then it's about 102 degrees (h) and roughly equal to a 14mm lens.
