canon TS-E 17

Kit,

I use the 14-24G with Mark's adapter on 1ds3 and still enjoy that great lens.
I posted some crops above comparing the Nikon and the new 17 at 17 at f8-f9 and I was surprised how equal they were to me. I am sure the Nikon is better at wider apertures as the Canon 17 needs about f7.1 to get sharp enough in the corners. Still quite an improvement on their old TS-E 24mk1 like you mention and the 17 is quite an accomplishment for Canon I think.
Canon doesn't recommend using a TC on the 17 in the 17 lens manual but obviously designed it so it could. When using the 17 + TC, the camera still records the focal length as 17 and the lowest f-stop of 3.5 still shows up in the display instead of adding the extra stop.

Cool perspective and framing for sure. Would like to understand better why you think the color sucked?

Hi Jack,

The highlight areas were slightly blown, once I pulled them back down in lightroom the image simply seemed dull, so I left them up and went with a BW conversion.

Note: I have since created a solution to attach my lee grads to this lens, which should allow me to solve the problem.
