Title: Canon 24mm TS-E II review ?
Post by: DaveCurtis on August 21, 2009, 10:42:40 pm
Michael, interesting review on the 17mm TS-E. You mentioned the new 24mm TS-E. Did you have enough time to review this lens ?

I played with it, but didn't have the time for a test. It seems to be pretty much the same as the older 24mm but with the new mechanics, same as the 17mm. Canon claims better glass and coatings, but I can't say.

The new 24mm is sharper at the edges and the CAs are dramatically reduced when compared to the old moedel.
The IQ is IMHO a big difference.
Mind the price, the lens is expensive!

Review from The Digital Picture (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-TS-E-24mm-f-3.5-L-II-Tilt-Shift-Lens-Review.aspx)

Big improvement A to D: almost inexistent CA, more sharpness and even less distortion (which in the TS-E I was low but tricky to eliminate).
The new 24 TS-E is even better than the 24mm f1.4 II, specially when both are wide open (f/3.5).

Crop 100% samples from a extreme corner at f/11 using a 5D2 (TS non-shifted):

Thanks for the replies.
IQ appears to be raised a notch going by Digital-picture's review.

Just had a day-long shoot with my older version of the 24TS-E. Looking forward to the new one for sure.
