This is awesome. NG worthy!

Tom! It's time for you to order these TS lenses.

Hehehe....you've nearly got him convinced, Julian!

Seriously though, I think the TS lenses offer such a huge extension to our vision that they're well worth having in the kit at any price. It doesn't hurt that they're incredibly sharp as well! (And I don't even do the deliberate tilt/out of focus thing!)

now waiting for Royal Mail .... *boing*boing*boing* .... (little happy dance)

Lurkers are welcome in these TS threads but, if you're in here oogling the images, you might as well buy one, right?

I decided to redo this image in mono.

Lovely mono... the different direction of cloud and wave action makes an intriguing "Z" shape that the mono really brings out. Great stuff.

Thanks Rob. I'm glad you notice the "Z" shape in the image.

Hehehe...yes, Julian, I get your drift!...but I'll have to lurk for a little longer!

Don't wait too long. The world will end in 2012. Jk.

You're right! And we all want to have our equipment in perfect order for that, don't we!!

Imagine my disappointment if the world ended and someone got a better shot of it than me because they had a TS-E24 and I didn't....I'd never forgive myself!

Awww.... Now you have to decide which one to get first. The 21 ZE or 24 TS.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the mkI and mkII versions of this lens?

Thanks!

The TDP review explains the differences pretty well.

Hehe! I like how he points out Buyer's Remorse Protection. I read the review a while back and he's spot on.

Subscribing - I have a crop body but looking at this lens with v.keen interest - wonderful captures thoughout this thread - inspiring.

This lens continues to amaze me. I wouldn't say that any of my other lenses are slouches, but this one just puts them to shame. I was looking through a couple of shots that I didn't end up displaying (unhappy with the content in the frame), and I was just marveling at the sharpness, lack of flare/CA/distortion, and overall optical quality.

I can read number plates on vehicles from a block away. My other primes are sharp indeed, but not THIS sharp, and certainly not as sharp for being only 24mm.

I'm *really* hoping Canon releases an updated 45 or 50mm TSE of similar caliber to this lens. I'll sell my 35L in a heart beat and replace it.
