[...]The lens is everything I expected after extensively researching different lenses and reviews. However, I did experience one event that nearly gave me a heart attack. While moving some of my gear around on Christmas Eve, my mother accidentally dropped this lens.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

Newcomer's Learning Curve

I have owned this lens since it was first released a few years ago, and it is permanently attached to one of my 5D MKII's. As a dedicated architectural photographer, I use this lens for 90% of my commissioned work.

Superior build quality; Super-sharp images

It has very precise depth, it definitely enhances creativity potentials. Definitely worth every cent spent on it!

Independent shift tilt; it has a great built quality with nice features; extended shifting capabilities

82mm filter and a very bulky lens cap and the lens is a bit heavy

The tilt and shift work independantly of each other.A special screen could be used for focusing but, I use a Hoodman loupe and "live view" . You will need one of the two in bright sunlight.

As an amateur, this lens is challenging, but rewarding too. The shift effect makes panoramas and architectural shots with nice straight lines both very easy. Getting expanded depth of field shots is tricky, mainly due to focusing at both the far and near points while micro–adjusting the tilt...

Originally bought for the tilt novelty with only a marginal awareness of the shift attributes, this is now my favorite lens that I use to capture incredible distortion-free panoramas. I typically shoot landscapes and real estate, and this lens offers a range of view beyond anything I've seen.

I wanted a lens that would give me edge to edge sharpness with little or no distortion ,and that I'd be able to continue using my Lee Filters,this is it! I have the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens , while its a great lens.

I'm just amazed the quality of images obtained with this lens! Sharp as a razor, from the center to the extreme corners, even at open aperture. Perfect for the artistic and architectural photography, TS-E 24/L3.5 II simply the best 24mm lens.

Razor sharp; brilliant picture quality; no CA
