Harshan – how much the 17 tse gets used really depends upon the project. It can be too wide for some spaces but it can also be a life saver. The key with it is too make sure you are lined up well so that the geometry of the room or the building does not get thrown off. I have the 1.4 tele converter but I have not tried it with either of the new tse lenses.

I just go myself the 17mm TSE and a 5dM2 to go along with it, i have always been a Nikon user with the 24mm PCE lens as my bread and butter lens for some time now. I am so excited about the prospect of the 17mmTSE on a 21mp camera. I was wondering how much do you use the 17mm TSE lens since you also have the 24mm TSE or architectural shoot? is 17mm to wide? i also bought the 1.4x tele-converter and am yet to find out how that works with the 17mm TSE though i have read that it works pretty well with the 24TSE. Thanks & regards, Harshan Thomson

Thanks Kohi. Yes, the 17mm TSE is quite stellar. That said, I’ve found the 16-35 II to be a great lens as long as you don’t go wider than ~20mm. If you go wider the edges can get a bit too problematic for architecture (but may be acceptable for other types of work.)

This is very useful. Thank you.
I’ve been using the 16-35 II, at f/11 on a 1Ds Mk3 and the results have been very crisp.
Most of my interiors assignments force me into tight corners and the 16-35 has been a lifesaver there. The sharpness, the versatility of the 17 t/s is very attractive. The perspective correction will be very useful.
