Like previous comments, I find that I use tilt on longer focal lengths a lot more than shorter ones.
The amounts of tilt for some effects on the 17mm will be quite small.
I recalculated my tilt tables to include a 17mm focal length and find that if you were to stand a camera on a book on a table, so that the lens axis was 5 inches above the table top, and then tilt to 8 degrees (down), the plane of focus would run along the table surface...
Also, at a typical tripod height of say 5 feet, just 0.6 degrees are needed for the (level) ground to be the focal plane (once again focused at infinity) this would be 0.8 degree at 24mm, 1.6@45mm, and 3.1@90mm
The 'one degree' tilt distances are
17mm 1.0m
24mm 1.3m
45mm 2.5m
90mm 5m
150mm 9m
I did a spreadsheet some time ago (based on Harold Merklinger's work - read his excellent book if this stuff is unfamiliar ;-) I use it to print out a small sheet with a table of values for lenses I have, at normal focal lengths and with teleconverters.
