Shelby, welcome to the Canon board! Although I understand that your transition to Canon was caused by circumstances rather than by choice, I have no doubt you'll continue to produce outstanding images no matter which camera system you are using. I've followed your posts and intelligent discussions with Marc and others on the Sony board with much interest, but haven't participated much myself, both for time constraints and because I don't use Sony. I did however have the a900 briefly and could compare it directly to 5D2 and Nikon D3, and while it produced excellent files, I was struck more with the similarities than the differences between these cameras. This is a vast subject of course where choice of optics, RAW converter, PP etc. all influence the final outcome. Hopefully, once you've settled in, you'll find that Canon has some advantages too
Wayne, that 17mm TS looks sweet, does the sharpness hold up into the corners when shifted? Or to put it another way, how much do you need to stop down to get good corner sharpness?
I own all three classic TS lenses in the Canon range, but not yet the 17mm or the new 24mm. I've had the new 1,4/24mmL for some months now and it is a stellar performer, both re. resolution and micro-contrast. So Canon is spoiling us for choice in the WA segment, who would have thought that LOL.
Looking forward to more posts from the 17mm. Seems you've got a great copy (or have Canon finally tightened QC ?
)
